Key Takeaways:
The Wings Over Washington air show took place on August 19-20 at Bremerton National Airport (KPWT), marking the first air show held there in 35 years.
The event was a relocation and rebranding of the former Freedom Fair, moved from Tacoma Narrows Airport due to space limitations, and celebrated the area's Navy heritage.
Attendees enjoyed a diverse range of attractions including vintage Navy aircraft, aerobatic performances, parachute displays by the Canadian Skyhawks, a jet car, and a car show.
Organizers estimate 3,000 attendees for this inaugural year and plan for the air show to become an annual event, building on its initial success.
If it was vintage and could be flown or driven, chances are good it made an appearance at the Wings Over Washington air show on August 19 and 20 at Bremerton National Airport (KPWT).
According to Jim Rothlin, the CEO of the Port of Bremerton, the event was the first air show at KPWT in 35 years.
