History
The show began in the late 1970s at rancher Ron Ochs's alfalfa field near Madras.[2] In 2000, the airshow moved to the Madras Municipal Airport.[1] Planes from the Erickson Aircraft Collection became part of the show in 2014 when a new museum housing the collection opened at the Madras Airport.[3]
