News Note! Rumor had it that 2003's Show would be at a new home, the McMinneville Airport, near the intriquing Evergreen Air Museum (Spruce Goose, SR71 Blackbird, and Sophia high-altitude observatory)!--- this rumor was found to be false-- for more, see below:
In November 2002, the Rose Festival and Hillsboro terminated the business relationship that they'd had since the first Airshow in 1988.... But such a large and popular event was not to be denied, and it was re-instituted as "The Oregon International Airshow." As of late August 2010, the 23rd. annual airshow under this banner will be held in its traditional setting at the Hillsboro Airport.
