Does anyone know anything about this? The website is kind of cryptic, I don't understand why they chose this particular date.

It is a bit of a cryptic site! The 2009 show was cancelled due to budgetary shorfall. It may have been the only date they could get the Thunderbirds in, a lot of dates are set by when they can get a major performance team, and the Thunderbirds ALWAYS have a full dance card! I would hope they do some sort of solemn, respectful memorial tribute.

Yea, I live in Pittsburgh and was really sad about the news of the 2009 airshow.

I just thought it was interesting date of Sept 11 for an airshow, things are not always cooperative weather-wise around that late in the year. Besides the 9/11 date too.

Of note too, it is put on by the Air National Guard Base here (A refueling wing, and 911 Air Lift Wing)

Lots of coincidences here.
