Air & Sea Show Successfully Ends Fleet Week USA

The McDonald's Air & Sea Show raised $5 million and attracted more than one million people to Fort Lauderdale Beach to close out Fleet Week USA.

With 56 sponsors and more than one million people attending throughout the weekend, this year’s McDonald’s Air & Sea Show had a lot to live up to. Marking the end of Fleet Week USA, the 13th annual weekend event was expected to garner about $5 million in revenue, with headliners like the Thunderbirds and the Golden Knights U.S. Army Parachute Team, a group that jumped out of perfectly good airplanes to entertain the jam-packed beach crowd.

Editor's Note: Isn't that an interesting message written in the sky at the Air and Sea Show?? Talk about your creative event planners. If the numbers are accurate, the GLBTI family was represented some 10.000 strong, huh? What a huge gay wedding guest list?
