2010 Air Show Dates: April 10-11
ERA American Realty is proud to be one of the sponsors this year. Look for our table. We will be handing out 3,000 American flags. We can't get enough of that wonderful flag. If you're local, you know that each year on Independence Day we place around 40,000 flags along our community streets. It's a logistical challenge but we love to do it - and have done so for over 18 years. We will have photographers at the air show to get some good shots. If you can't make the air show, stop back by this blog to see photos of the event.
One of the many blessings we enjoy here on the Emerald Coast is the presence of our military. Our area is home to several military installations. Two of our offices are located just outside Eglin Air Force Base. In fact, our Shalimar office is only a mile or so outside the main gate, so we get to hear the "Sound of Freedom" often.
For those who like to know stats, Eglin Air Force Base is the largest land mass air force base in the free world. The Eglin Range covers 724 square miles of land and occupies much of the Northwest Florida panhandle. This year they are celebrating their 75th Anniversary (Eglin AFB Video).

Each year they host a spectacular air show with an assortment of aircraft from various decades, as well as a breath-taking demonstration by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. We expect this year will be their best as they recognize "75 Years of Eglin Pride".
Eglin AFB opens their gates to air show visitors exactly at 9 a.m. They will close their gates to air show arrivals at 3 p.m. It is best to arrive between those times. If this is your first year at the air show, be aware that trying to get an edge in by arriving early... well, not good. Any early air show arrivals before 9 a.m. will only be asked to wait or be directed away to keep traffic moving.
If you can't work a full day at the air show, block in a couple hours either Saturday or Sunday, April 10-11, 1-3 pm for the Florida Open House. The Emerald Coast Association of Realtors are joining in with this national open house and are opening doors to local listings. We will have 35 houses open for viewing just from our company alone.
