The Airshow of the Cascades is an annual event held in August at the Madras Municipal Airport in Central Oregon. It started in a field outside of Madras in the 1970s and draws around 10,000 people with around 150 aircraft on display.[1]
The show began in the late 1970s at rancher Ron Ochs's alfalfa field near Madras.[2] In 2000, the airshow moved to the Madras Municipal Airport.[1] Planes from the Erickson Aircraft Collection became part of the show in 2014 when a new museum housing the collection opened at the Madras Airport.[3]
There was no airshow in 2020.
