Kern and Kompany President Ryan Kern on the 2023 Duluth Airshow: “It was a great weekend for the Duluth Airshow, presented by Essentia Health. We welcomed more than 50,000 spectators to Duluth this weekend as the United States Navy Blue Angels showed why they are considered the best of the best with their precision flying. We could not have done this without the support of our amazing sponsors and partners who allow us the ability to put on a world-class event in Duluth that pumps in more than $20 million dollars into our region’s economy!
Our leadership team, various committee members and more than 1,000 community volunteers came out in force to support the efforts and we could not have done this without these individuals! I would also like to publicly thank Dr. Merlis (Airshow Trauma Physician on site), Essentia Health Medical Volunteers, St. Louis County Rescue Squad, Duluth’s 148th FW Fire Department (ARFF) and First Responders for their amazing response and expertise regarding the medical incident with the US Navy Parachute Team.”
