LAS VEGAS - Dec. 15, 2014 - PRLog -- On December 10th at the International Council of Air Shows (https://www.airshows.aero/) annual convention in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Culpeper Air Fest (http://www.culpeperairfest.com/)was awarded the Silver Pinnacle Award for small civilian air shows for the ground-breaking “Potomac Flight” over Washington D.C. in honor of the DAV (Disabled American Veterans).

The 2014 ICAS Pinnacle Awards were established to honor innovative advances in all areas of air show operation and management within seven various categories.  Of these categories, the small civilian air shows (qualified as fewer than 15,000 spectators) had bronze, silver, gold and platinum winners with Culpeper Air Fest earning the coveted Silver Pinnacle Award for the “Potomac Flight”.

“Potomac Flight “launched on Sunday, October 12, where approximately 24 T-6 Texans departed Culpeper Regional Airport (in Culpeper, Virginia) for a unique flyover of Washington D.C.’s greatest landmarks including the Pentagon and Arlington National Cemetery.  The flyover in the skies over the Pentagon and Arlington National Cemetery was in honor of DAV as a visible and fitting tribute to the services and sacrifices veterans have made for our freedom.

“The award is a source of great pride to our Culpeper Air Fest.  We were thrilled to be able to execute the Potomac Flight this year and couldn’t be more proud of the much needed attention it drew for veterans’ needs,”  said Mike Dale, Culpeper Air Fest Chairman.
