Not just a Jet Rally... A Destination!
Over the past seven years, the Liberty Bell Jet Rally has grown from a group of skilled jet pilots coming together to share their love for flying, into a world class destination event for the whole family to enjoy. The 2008 Liberty Bell Jet Rally was our second year at the Donegal Springs Airpark, 186 Airport Rd., Marietta, PA 17547. The response from the jet pilots and the local community was overwhelming! Several thousand spectators were entertained by many of the finest jet pilots in the United States and Canada. We are very excited about returning to Marietta in 2009!
Located in historic South-Central Pennsylvania, the Liberty Bell Jet Rally is surrounded by many diverse landmarks and attractions. Whether you would like to take a trip to the battlefields of Gettysburg, shop in Amish country, spend the day at Hershey Park, or visit one of the many local Golf courses, there is truly something for everyone to enjoy!
As the Liberty Bell Jet Rally has grown into one of the most exciting flying events throughout the year, it has had the privilege of having the participation of some of the greatest RC Pilots in the world. It has been through this participation that the Liberty Bell Jet Rally has helped attract many wonderful and generous sponsors, as well as much local support.
So whether you are joining us for a relaxing weekend of RC jet flying, or you are coming to spend some time at the Hotel Hershey spa, we hope that you will make the Liberty Bell Jet Rally a destination on your calendar!
