Westmoreland Airshow a family affair for Latrobe locals, visitors

Lisa Hartman wasn’t always a fan of the Shop ‘n Save Westmoreland Airshow. As a child, she would visit the air show with her dad, but “hated it,” she said. When her own daughter Olivia got involved with Air Force Junior ROTC in high school back in 2016, she gave it a second try, and ended up falling in love with the excitement. Now, the Gibsonia family come to see the show every year. “Now, I’m like, God, I was stupid when I was little,” she said. “My dad is laughing, (and saying) ‘I told you!’ ” Olivia graduated high school in 2020. Though she did not continue with ROTC after that, she maintains a love of aviation and supporting the Air Force.
