Extreme heat at a Colorado airshow caused about 100 people to seek emergency treatment and sent 10 people to area hospitals on Saturday. The majority of patients were treated by emergency personnel onsite at the Pikes Peak Regional Airshow, held at the Colorado Springs Municipal Airport.
Colorado Springs Fire Chief Randy Royal commended the quick actions of organizers and emergency officials, which prevented serious injuries at the event. The airshow, featuring performances by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels flight exhibition team and displays of modern and vintage aircraft, had sold out tickets for both days.
