Twin Falls, Idaho Airshow
TWIN FALLS — An air show being planned for next year will be a salute to Joslin Field.
It will be a celebration of the airport’s 75th anniversary. Included in the plans are showing vintage aircraft that have ties to Magic Valley, giving insight into the airport’s role in firefighting efforts, and perhaps providing free airplane rides to children.
The show is planned for June 17, 2023.
“Part of the air show is to remember the airport’s 75th year and we will have aircraft that span from World War II to the present,” planner Jim O’Donnell said. “It will showcase the aviation history of Twin Falls County.”
Joslin Field, also known as Twin Falls Regional Airport, is named after Sgt. Raymond Ralph Joslin, the first airman in Twin Falls County killed during World War II. He was part of a B-17 crew that was shot down in 1942 over the Solomon Islands, said O’Donnell, co-chair of the group Joslin Field Celebration Inc. The group has been planning the show for several years and O’Donnell recently joined after recovering from some health issues.
