New name, new sponsors, the Manassas Airshow happens this weekend

MANASSAS -- The seventh annual airshow being held at Manassas Regional Airport this Saturday has a new name, one that recognizes its largest sponsor: The 2018 Leaseweb Manassas Airshow.

That big sponsorship is good for the 15,000 to 20,000 spectators expected to attend the free show, which can only be seen on site.

Ann Rychlik, President of the Manassas Airport Regional Business Alliance (MARBA) said it takes all year to plan the event, which has bloomed in attendance and expense.
