Amigo Airsho officials have announced that the proposed parking lot for this year’s event has been approved by Dona Ana County and construction has begun on the plot of land that will become patrons’ parking. The parking lot will be attached to the Dona Ana County International Jetport in Santa Teresa. In addition to the construction of the new parking lot, approval was also granted for repairs to be made to complete the existing taxiway at the airport. These infrastructure projects should be complete within the next 30 days.
“The accessible parking will most certainly make Airsho patrons love their experience at the new venue,” said Amigo Airsho CEO Pancho Mangan. “We won’t need to use buses to get fans to the entrance gate. It’ll be amazingly easy to walk up to the action.”
The Amigo Airsho organization is working within an aggressive timeline to get Santa Teresa ready for this year, which will be its inaugural event in its new location. Officials have already moved their operational compound from Biggs Army Airfield at Fort Bliss to its new home in Santa Teresa.
“We are getting really excited. All the groundwork is falling into place and we can’t wait to watch the show come to life in southern New Mexico,” said Roxie Samaniego, Amigo Airsho Board President.
The 2014 Amigo Airsho is scheduled for November 1-2 and the United States Air Force Thunderbirds will headline the event. Advanced tickets and regional pick up location information will be available in the coming weeks.
