The air show was a big spectacle in the 70's and 80's but came to a halt after the break up of Yugoslavia. For the first time after 20 years of inactivity, on May 24th 2008, Logovardi Airport was used once again to gather air enthusiast from across Macedonia. According to official Municipality Bitola website, www.bitola.gov.mk, the air show will once again become an annual tradition.
