The first Amigo Airsho was held March 23 and 24, 1981. That Airsho paid respect to General of the Army Omar Bradley who had lived in El Paso since 1977.

Omar Bradley got his good weather on July 25 and touched off his rocket. It swooshed through the chute, burst out of Normandy, burned a path to Avranches and the north corner of the Breton peninsula.
