Nearly 35% of the Hanania Automotive workforce is retired military personnel, and we’re proud to do our part to support all of our armed forces because they protect us, and they protect democracy around the world. Now more than ever, it is crucial to express our gratitude to these men and women for their sacrifice so that we can enjoy the freedom we have here in America.”

The Kids Zone will feature a STEM component, Blue Angel Obstacle Course, 36-foot Turbo Shuttle Slide, Extreme Air Power Jump, and face painting.
The highlight of the event will be performances by the Blue Angels, the elite Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, which originated at NAS JAX in 1946. Organizers expect over 300,000 visitors, making it one of the largest air shows in the South.
