Eyewitness News spoke to the two people who spearheaded the very first Bethpage Air Show and have been working together ever since.
When the Bethpage Air Show takes to the skies at Jones Beach this Memorial Day weekend, it will officially mark 20 years of celebrating the start to summer at the popular destination.
Today it's a Long Island tradition, but back in 2004, it was just meant to be a way to celebrate 75 years of Jones Beach. "We wanted to have a very special world-class event, so an air show came to mind," Gorman said. "We never organized one, this was the first time we were doing that and we needed a sponsor."She said she got a phone call one day asking if she wanted to sponsor the air show - and of course the answer was yes."We had met with the United States Navy Blue Angels," Gorman said. "An air show they planned was canceled.
"It's really an institution, it's what people want, it's what people enjoy and I don't see it stopping, I see it continuing," Gorman said.
