World War II era aircraft will also take to the skies joining in formation with modern day fighters for historic Heritage Flights. In addition to our military aviation, past and present, world renowned civilian performers will leave spectators in awe doing seemingly impossible aerobatic maneuvers with their high performance aircraft.
