A big thank you to the Northern Illinois Airshow and the Dacy Airshows team for welcoming members of the Pistons & Props management team this past weekend. It was a great opportunity to observe another show in action and connect with several of the incredible performers who will be joining us at Pistons & Props 2026!

We’re proud to have Dacy Airshows serving as air boss for our full airshow debut on August 28–29, 2026, and we’ll begin announcing performers in just a few months. Exciting things are ahead!

Thanks to the incredible support from our community, sponsors, and attendees at Pistons and Props, Propel Forward is proud to announce we raised $1,750 for the Rock County Veterans Donation Trust!

The Rock County Veterans Donation Trust is wholly funded by donations, and 100% of every dollar goes directly back to veterans of Rock County. This fund provides emergency assistance to veterans and their immediate families in times of need.

We are proud to stand with our local veterans — and grateful to everyone who helped make this possible!

Find more information at

The Rock County Veterans Service Commission is a body mandated by state statute (Chapter 45.81) to exist in each Wisconsin county. The purpose of the VSC is to provide emergency assistance to veterans of Rock County and to family members of deceased veterans who reside in Rock County.
