Static Equipment Displays

Non aviation: Event organizers should be aware that static display requests are subject to a number of restrictions and are supported only where they do not impact operational mission accomplishment. Organizations requesting a static display vehicle must submit a completed DD Form 2536 (Request for Armed Forces Participation in Public Events) to the
    Wisconsin National Guard Public Affairs Office
    P. O. Box 8111
    Madison WI 53708-8111
    FAX (608) 242-3051
    Email: State Public Affairs Office.

Aviation: Wisconsin Army National Guard aircraft include UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters in Madison and UH-1 Huey helicopters in West Bend. Wisconsin Air National Guard aircraft include F-16C fighters in Madison and KC-135R tankers in Milwaukee.

Organizations requesting a static display aircraft from the Wisconsin Army or Air National Guard must submit a completed DD Form 2535 (Request for Military Aerial Support) to the applicable service:

The Wisconsin National Guard Public Affairs Office (608-242-3050) in Madison can assist requesters with this form, however completed forms must be submitted by the requesting organization to the applicable service. The request should be submitted a minimum of 90 days prior to the event to be considered for support. Less than 90 days notice greatly reduces the chance that support will be available. Requests received 30 days or closer to the event will NOT be considered.

NOTES ON AIRCRAFT STATIC DISPLAY REQUESTS

  • Approval of an event for aerial support does NOT indicate the event will actually receive support. Once an event approved for aerial support, event organizers must request the actual support from a Wisconsin Army or Air National Guard flying unit. Whether an approved event receives aviation support depends on aircraft and crew availability, and many other factors including training schedules and mission requirements.
  • Army and Air Force approvals are only for aircraft from the individual service. An organization wishing to have an event approved for either Army National Guard aircraft or Air National Guard aircraft must submit a request to each service.
