Service Credit Union Boston-Portsmouth Air Show: Event organizers mull plans for future air shows

PORTSMOUTH — There is one thing that many attendees of the Service Credit Union Boston-Portsmouth Air Show said they want: more. 

This weekend’s aerobatic extravaganza was the third in a three-year agreement between organizers to hold an air show at Portsmouth International Airport on the Pease International Tradeport. Faced with the prospect of seeing Seacoast skies filled with stunt planes, remarkably loud fighter jets and other flying daredevils for the last time, those in attendance sent a clear message to organizers.

“I think we should certainly do it. Why not keep it going? This is where kids are having a lot of fun,” said Jeffrey Cogar Jr., 10, of Somersworth.

If it were up to the thousands of kids who watched the spectacle this weekend, the air show would be, at a minimum, an annual event.

“I think they should keep on going,” said Brandon Miano, 12, who drove with his family six and a half hours from Hannibal, N.Y., to see the show before spending the week at Lake Winnipesaukee. “There’s always (people) who have never seen it before. I hope everyone gets a chance to see this someday.”
