Aerial support requests can include airshows, event flyovers and static displays. Static displays allow the public to experience an up-close and personal view of our equipment and weapons systems and increase their knowledge and understanding of the Air Force mission.

Policy:

• A flyover, whether on-base or off-base, is a straight and level flight, limited to one pass, by no more than four military aircraft of the same general type (e.g., tactical, transport, rotary wing) from the same military service over a predetermined point on the ground at a specific time and not involving aerobatics or demonstrations.
• A flyover of more than four aircraft, or of multiple types of aircraft, or of aircraft representing more than one military service or nation, regardless of horizontal/timing separation of flying elements, constitutes and aerial review. Flyovers at memorial or funeral services in honor of rated and/or designated active duty aviation personnel are not community engagement activities.

Requesting Aerial Support:

• Submit all aerial support requests (airshows, event flyovers, static displays, etc.) through the following link: http://www.airshows.pa.hq.af.mil. All requests for support must be submitted via this website.

• The 20th Fighter Wing Public Affairs office will send the request through to the appropriate channels and the requester will be contacted if Shaw assets are able or unable to support.  Sending/receiving a request does not confirm support.

The Air Force sends a speaker to an event to create dialogue with local organizations and give them an insight into Air Force roles, mission, overall capabilities and the Airmen who make up the Air Force.

Policy:

• Any organization, group or individual can request an Air Force speaker. This includes community groups, business organizations, industry associations, as well as schools of all levels.
• We are restricted from participating in fundraising events and political activities.
• Once we provide a speaker, all outstanding arrangements must be made between the organization and the guest speaker.
• If the speaker must cancel, the organization is responsible for contacting Shaw Public Affairs to re-submit a request.
