“As our signature summer event, the Atlantic City Airshow continues to grow in scope and popularity each year,” said Jeff Vasser, president of the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority. “It’s events like the airshow, the A10 Men’s Basketball Championship and Atlantic City Restaurant Week that continue to diversify our offerings and help keep Atlantic City a popular destination for everyone.”    
Siganos Management will be the Presenting Sponsor and Harrah’s Entertainment will be the Host Hotel Sponsor for the airshow. The resort will host both military and civilian pilots, including the US Air Force Thunderbirds. The Atlantic City International Airport (ACY) will continue to serve as the host airport for the 2010 Atlantic City Airshow.
