The Lake of the Ozarks Air Show is in the planning process of the 2012 Air Show.
In an effort to keep the Air Show free organizers are relaying on sponsors to fund the event. They have an opportunity to secure a P-51 Mustang (World War II U.S. fighter) performance if six rides can be sold. The ride is approximately a 30-minute ride over the Lake where the full performance of the P-51 can be experienced. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity that will be rare at the Lake of The Ozarks. The ride will include many photo opportunities in and by the plane. The rides could be taken Friday, Sept. 21 in the afternoon, Saturday Sept. 22 in coordination with Air Show, or possibly Sunday Sept. 23.
To bring this historic aircraft to The Lake and cover their cost they would like a commitment of six rides. The Air Show funds would be willing to cover one for an auction. Organizers need to get commitments on five rides and a signed contract by March 15 to book this historic aircraft.
The rides are selling for $1,500 apiece. There are no guarantees this aircraft will be available to us in the future. There are very few in the country restored and licensed to give rides. Money is fully refundable if weather or unknown circumstances prevent the aircraft from coming to the Lake of The Ozarks Air Show. To book your ride, email or call the Camdenton chamber at 573-346-2227 or info@camdentonchamber.com.
