The Terre Haute Air Show is months away, but organizers say thousands of tickets have already been sold.

The Tribune-Star reports that as of Thursday nearly 10,000 tickets have been purchased, generating about $150,000 in revenue. Organizers say tickets for the VIP tent on the first day are nearly sold out.

The show will feature the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, a civilian formation team called Trojan Thunder and a U.S. Air Force F-22. Other performers include the U.S. Army Blackhawk extraction team and a group re-enacting Pearl Harbor, which will include a 2,000 foot long wall of fire.

The show will be held Aug. 18 and 19 at Terre Haute Regional Airport.

Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the gate. VIP tickets are $125.
