As News Center 7 reported on Thursday, the air show’s overall economic impact is more than $5 million.

“That’s a two-day event. So that’s a huge impact over two days,” Buchanan said.

On top of that, Buchanan says with Dayton being the birthplace of aviation, the air show is a source of pride for the community— a way to highlight the aviation legacy still going on today.

“I think it helps again, highlight those, those entities over behind us. We got Sierra Nevada, that’s a contractor. You can see military aircraft sitting there right now. So there’s a lot of business that goes on here,” Buchanan said.

A growing legacy the Titan Aviation Team is proud to now be a part of.

“It’s great to come up here because there’s so much history in the state of Ohio with aviation,” Jimmy Fordham said.
