Jets Over Kentucky Week began Sunday, July 5, 2015, and continues through Sunday, July 12, 2015, each day, with flying beginning at 7amCT/8amET each day at the Lebanon/Springfield Airport, 650 Airport Lane, Springfield, KY. The show will offer even more excitement for 2015. Remote Control Jets Over Kentucky drew 164 remote control jet pilots from all over the world last year, and this year promises to be even better.

Uninterrupted flying will continue for our pilots the entire week. Flying will begin each day at 8amET and conclude at darkness. All flying will be done from the 5,000 ft. main runway.






Jet Central has sponsored three "Big Top Tents" (40X200) for our pilots. Two of the big tents are parallel to the concrete taxiway, and the third is in the grass, and parallel to the main runway. This Big Top will give pilots a clear view of all flying.

A transport vehicle and trailer will be located at this tent for moving aircraft to the flight line. Pilots needing more space can rent as many sections as they need. If the entire 10X40 is not needed, each pilot is free to split the 250.00 cost with anyone willing to share. Pilots who rented space last year, will have first preference for the 10X40 slots. The remaining 120ft of the "Big Tops"will still be available as free pilot space for pre-registered pilots, with 2014 attendees having their same place in the tent. We have plenty of space for all, so those new to the event shouldn't worry.

Pop up tents are also welcome, and will be placed perpendicular to the east side Big Top in the grass area. No pop tents will be allowed on the taxiway or in between the Big Top Tents and the runway.

Vendors Row is perpendicular to the west Big Top in the grass area. We'll have additional pilot space in the 40X200 tent located in the grassy area west of the taxiway. 10 slots in all big top tents will be premium rental space, and the remaining will be free pilot space. Pilots with free space will not have the entire slot to themselves. Depending on the number of aircraft, two or three pilots will share these accommodations. Pilots in all rental slots may choose to divide their slots with friends, or remain private.

There are more prizes, awards, and surprises for pilots this year. - Free Thursday Night Dinner to registered pilots (additional tickets 5.00) sponsored by King Tech Turbines.

- Friday night dinner (free to registered pilots, and sponsored by Jet Central)(additional tickets 5.00).

- Four Spektrum Radios, Donated Kits and Accessories from sponsors, Money (50-50 drawing).

- Thursday evening swap meet.

- Saturday Night Awards Dinner (10.00 per person).

There will be Fighter Jet Showdown, Sport Jet Showdown, 28 awards, Parade of Lights, Fireworks, T-28 Special, and much more.
