If you love airplanes, action – or just a fun-packed day at the seashore, here's an event that’s sure to tickle your rudders.

The 2012 annual Cocoa Beach Air Show soars into town Sept. 22-23, 2012, providing a unique chance for beachgoers and enthusiasts to watch both civilian and military aviation in action. The theme of the event is the "Year of Extreme Flight," so as you can imagine it’s going to be exciting.

The U.S. Marine Corps will showcase a full capabilities demonstration of the V-22 Osprey, an aircraft designed to fly like a plane but also to take off and hover like a helicopter. The Cocoa Beach Air Show was selected as only one of 10 shows in the nation to feature this exclusive air craft demonstration – and I can’t wait to see this bird fly!

Many viewing areas are free and open to the public. Premium viewing tickets start at $19. For more information on VIP tickets, where to stay and show line-up, visit http://www.cocoabeachairshow.com/.
