WHY IS THERE NO AIR SHOW IN 2023?

The Lake Cumberland Regional Airport requires a tarmac resurfacing project to take place during the later half of 2023.  This results in the airport's east tarmac to be closed for several months while construction is completed.  The next Lake Cumberland Air Show will take place Saturday, September 21 of 2024.
