Save your spot
Two quick things and you are done. Both take about a minute, and the waiver is once a year, so if you have already done it this year you can skip step two.

Step 1
Register
Tell us you are coming so we know how many students to plan for.

Form not loading? Open the registration form in a new tab

Step 2
Sign the waiver
Every student needs this year’s annual waiver on file before they play. One form, once a year, covers everything we do.
Complete the Waiver

Parents and leaders
We need you on the field
A night this big only works with adults spread across it. We need steady people at the super slide and the inflatables keeping lines moving and play safe, a couple of folks at check-in greeting students and their friends as they walk up, and someone keeping the drinks cold. Give us two hours outside on August 30 and you will meet half the ministry in one night.

New Parent Group - Leesburg Airshow
2026-09-26 13:00 - 16:00 | MommyTime, 21670 Red Rum Drive, #102, Ashburn, 20147
WHAT | Leesburg Airshow!
WHEN | Saturday, September 26th at 1:00pm [Aerial performances start at 1pm]
WHERE | Leesburg Executive Airport [please click HERE for parking instructions]
I’m really excited for this one. I went for the first time last year and I myself turned into a toddler with how much fun I had watching those planes do loopdeloops and free falls… I can’t wait for this year and thought it would be the perfect opportunity for a meetup! There is no cost to attend, however there will be vendors there selling toy planes, food and drink, etc. I’d recommend bringing a camping chair for yourself if you want to watch a lot of the aerial performances. To set expectations, there are a lot of fun kid activities (bounce house, face paint, go inside a plane, etc) but the lines last year were crazy long so maybe they’ll have remedied that this year. You do have the opportunity to look at all the private planes parked on the tarmac but you can’t touch them or you’ll get yelled at (may or may not be speaking from experience lol). You can go to the website (HERE) for any additional information, and there will be a follow up email closer to the date where we can finalize meetup location at the airshow.
