Wichita Festivals has decided to charge $10 for weekend admission to the Kansas Flight Festival at Jabara Airport in late August. Organizers say the charge is in line with other air shows, and there will be no charge for kids 10 and under. But the jump seems a bit steep for what has been a free event, and could result in a smaller air show audience.
One problem: People can park along Webb or Greenwich Roads near Jabara and see much of the air show action. And how many Wichitans will pay $30 or $40 for the added privilege of seeing Abba and Bee Gees tribute bands?

Yeah! I believe they made a mistake charging for the event. It will be a low turn out. I guess Wichita Festival, Inc. forgot about the community love for the aviation industry and is trying to make a profit from this event instead.
They would make more money to help pay for the event, if they let everybody in for free and had a donation box for people to put into at the enterance.
