Bikini Bottom Air Show
Template:LTab Template:ShowEvent The Bikini Bottom Air Show is a public event at which aviators display their flying skills and the capabilities of their aircraft to spectators, usually by means of aerobatics. It is held in a field in Bikini Bottom right next to a metal and glass building meant to house the airplanes. The only known pilot in the air show is Template:Data:Links. It appears in the episode "Snail Mail."
Role in episode
SpongeBob receives a letter in the mail from his penpal that says he wants to see SpongeBob fly at the Bikini Bottom air show. SpongeBob goes to Template:Data:Links to learn how to fly and practice the basics. After learning how to fly a plane, SpongeBob goes to the air show.
At the air show, SpongeBob comes across an old person in a wheelchair who he presumes is the "pen pal," but they actually turn out to be an old man choking on a Krabby Patty.
SpongeBob is then announced to be up next and gets on the plane, revising what he is going to do, before he is confronted by Steve, who is dressed as death.
SpongeBob then goes to take off, and Template:Data:Links is running nearby and reveals that he is the "pen pal," along with the other page of the letter. They both throw the letters up into the air, but they fly into SpongeBob's face, making him lose control and risk crashing many times until they eventually crash, and the fire department arrives.
SpongeBob and Patrick walk away with Patrick listing what else he would have wanted to see, and the episode ends with chaos at the air show with Sandy and the fire fish putting out the fire.
Trivia

- Eugene H. Krabs is seen on a billboard advertisement in the air show crowd.
