This spring will be chalk full of air shows for the aviation enthusiast and one has just been added to the list. The Thunder in the Valley Air Show will be held on March 16 and 17 and advanced ticks have just gone on sale for $10 apiece, along with a $0.99 service charge. “In 2012, we partnered with AttendStar to offer the 24/7 accessibility of online ticket sales and received positive feedback from out-of-town attendees and Facebook fans,” said Phaedra Childers, event coordinator. “We're happy to offer that again and to add several new retail locations for the convenience of local residents.” Tickets are available through the air show's website, AttendStar or by scanning a QR code found on the various advertisements and posters for the air show. There will also be various local vendors selling tickets for $10. Childers said that the local vendors receive no commission for selling the tickets, so there is no extra incentive for them, expect for the support of children's charities. He added that while sponsors cover the cost of most of the events at the air show, the majority of ticket sales will go toward deserving children's organizations in the region. Military tickets are available for $8 and children under the age of six will get in for free. Ticket sales are $10 per day, so it is important to purchase two tickets if you are planning on attending both days of the event. The Thunder in the Valley Air Show has been around since 1997, featuring one of the largest outdoor family events in the Chattahoochee Valley. SUN 'n FUN fly-in and expo
