Default Hillsboro Air Show


Officials have decided that the Hillsboro Air Show will NOT be cancelled due
to the Hawker Hunter accident last summer.

I am of course glad to hear this. The airshow has been going on for well
over a decade, with Intel as one of its primary sponsors. Intel built a
factory under the downwind leg of the main runway, housing developments
sprung up to support the factory...and then everybody freaked out when a
plane crashed into homes in the general vicinity of the factory... that,
again, Intel built near the airshow that Intel sponsors at the airport
that's been there since Hillsboro was a collection of meadows with an
airport in the middle of it.
