Record high temperatures dropped attendance by 38 percent at this year’s show when 47,000 people viewed aviation performers at Dayton International Airport, officials have said.
Kerfoot said the show expects a “slight loss” financially, but won’t know final figures for weeks. The organization has reserve savings to cover the deficit, she said.
Next year’s show has tentative dates of July 20-21.
The Dayton/Montgomery County Convention and Visitors Bureau has estimated the air show has a more than $3 million impact on the regional economy.
