Qlarant Returning as Warbird Sponsor for Easton Airport Day 2024

Easton Airport Day is pleased to announce the return of Qlarant as the Warbird Sponsor for this year’s highly anticipated event. After the unfortunate weather-related cancellation of the 2023 event, the 14th annual Easton Airport Day is now scheduled for October 12, 2024, and promises a fun experience for all attendees. The Warbirds of Easton Airport will be displayed on the Qlarant Warbird Ramp prior to the Formation Flyover, the centerpiece of the festivities.

The concept of Easton Airport Day began several years ago when the Red Star Pilots Association chose Easton Airport as their preferred location for annual formation training. The display of their Warbird aircraft soaring through the skies over Easton garnered much attention and even led some to believe an airshow was underway. Recognizing the opportunity to showcase aviation to the local community, the idea to host Easton Airport Day was born.

The Formation Flyover has since become the pinnacle of the event, drawing dozens of participating aircraft and establishing itself as one of the largest formation flyovers in the United States. This spectacle adds an air of grandeur to Easton Airport Day, captivating spectators and fostering a profound appreciation for aviation and the history of these marvelous machines.

“We are excited to welcome Qlarant back as our Warbird Sponsor this year,” said Easton Airport Manager Micah Risher. “Their support helps us continue to be a prime location for pilots to exhibit their aircraft and tell the aviation story across generations.”

Qlarant, a prominent organization with a strong presence in the community, is proud to embrace the role of Warbird Sponsor once again. This year alone, the Qlarant Foundation- the mission arm of the organization- awarded $410,000 to charitable organizations. Their partnership with Easton Airport Day exemplifies their dedication to fostering community engagement and supporting meaningful initiatives that leave a lasting impact.

“Qlarant is delighted to continue our support of Easton Airport Day as the Warbird Sponsor,” said Pat Boos, Director of Marketing for Qlarant. “This event celebrates aviation’s wonders and brings joy and togetherness to our community.”

Easton Airport Day, sponsored by The Oaks Waterfront Hotel, invites attendees of all ages to experience the magic of aviation firsthand. The event is free to attend, providing an opportunity for families and aviation enthusiasts alike to explore and revel in the wonder of flight.
