Air Fest Pyrotechnics Display
9 February 2024
Q: I see that you would like a wall of fire and simulated strafing runs...do you require a traditional fireworks show as well? If so, how long of a show duration?

Q: When do they want the vendor to set up and or do a rehearsal run?
A: A rehearsal of pyrotechnics is not required. Vendors will be allowed access to the area prior to the event to evaluate the area. Vendors will work with base personnel on safety specific requirements to include in the pyrotechnics risk assessment.
