Founded by former US Congressman Robert Carlton "Bob" Wilson. Former Vice President of the United States, George HW Bush presided at the ribbon cutting ceremony. Congressman Wilson engaged Mr. Daniel S. Mitrovich to serve as Chief Protocol Officer for the visiting Soviets Air expedition with the worlds largest Aircrat the Antonov An-124 Russian aircraft. Mr. Mitrovich was the first American to fly on the worlds largest aircraft at the invitation of the soviet pilots.

  • Air/Space America 88 fue una exhibición de vuelo y exposición aérea celebrada en San Diego (California) en mayo de 1988. Fue concebida como la respuesta americana a la Paris Air Show que se celebra anualmente en Francia. Fue un evento de dimensiones colosales, siendo invitados expositores de todo el mundo. Entre los aviones participantes destacan varios Concorde aportados por British Airways y varios Antonov An-124, el por entonces pilar básico de la aviación rusa. Además, otros aviones como el Boeing YC-14 también participaron. Por otro lado, entre las compañías aéreas que hicieron exhibiciones destacan los USAF Thunderbirds americanos. Sin embargo, la feria fue un fracaso financiero y, aunque se pensó para ser bienal, nunca volvió a celebrarse. (es)
