Community air shows can’t operate without the help of volunteers. To that end, event organizers at the Port of Bremerton are asking for folks to help with their event July 12-13 at Bremerton National Airport (KPWT), located about 24 miles southwest of Seattle.

According to Erica Filler, marketing and communications coordinator for the Port of Bremerton, the first information meeting will be held on Friday, April 11.

“The teams we are recruiting for include logistics (set-up/tear-down/venue maintenance), ticketing, parking, VIP support, event security, vendor support, and volunteer support,” Filler said. “We encourage volunteers to select as many areas as they’d like when they complete the online application located on the volunteer page.”

Training sessions are scheduled for July 5, July 7, and July 8. The times have yet to be determined.

Volunteers get an event t-shirt, free parking, snacks, water, and a meal on the day(s) they volunteer as well as the chance to work up close with aircrews and performers.

The theme for this year’s show is “Mustang Mania” so count on several P-51s performing, including Vicky Benzing in her P-51D Plum Crazy, joined by Kimberly Kaye, Grim Reaper, Red Dog, Greg Anders Val-Halla, Jeff Lavelle’s Sweet & Lovely, Dan Vance with Speed Ball Alice, and Roger Collins with Lady Jo. Also slated to appear is the B-17 Flying Fortress from the Erickson Aircraft Collection along with the F4U-7 Corsair.

Other vintage military favorites include the T-6 Texan, T-28 Trojan, and T-33 Shooting Star.

Other performers include the USAF KC-135 Demo Team and the USAF C-17 West Coast Demo Team. Lee Oman Airshows will be there with its crowd-favorite wingwalking act.
