The C-17 Globemaster III is the newest, most flexible cargo aircraft to enter the airlift force. The C-17 can take off and land on runways as short as 3,500 feet and only 90 feet wide. Even on such narrow runways, the massive 500,000 pound jet can turn around using a three-point star turn and its backing capability. During a C-17 full capabilities demonstration its agility and ability to maneuver defies imagination and its ability to stop in less than 2,500 feet during a combat landing simulation is equally as impressive....

Greg Koontz flies the popular Super Decathlon through a solo aerobatic routine that demonstrates its full aerobatic capability! His dazzling display of outside loops, vertical rolls, snaps and tumbles is quite the crowd pleaser with a down low, in the dirt inverted ribbon cut as the grand finale! Greg will talk you through each maneuver from the cockpit as he flies his routine, a departure from the traditional narrated air show performance. Greg Koontz has been performing in airshows since 1974, when he joined Col. Moser's Flying Circus and learned his trademark maneuvers from the best in the business and brings to the line up, old-fashioned family entertainment in the best flying circus tradition!...

The Army Aviation Heritage Foundation is a dedicated group of veteran pilots performing at various events around the country in support of our country's military and veterans. The Vietnam Era Tactical Helicopter Demo they perform features a popular AH-IF Cobra performing an awe-inspiring routine that demonstrates the dynamic maneuverability and capability of the attack helicopter....

Scott "Scooter" Yoak will put on a dazzling aerobatic display  in this amazingly restored P-51D Mustang. This P-51 is a celebration of our nation’s armed forces. Every aspect of the paint represents those who have served, and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. The black cape covering the front of the aircraft represents the veil of protection that our armed forces give us. That veil is one of the reasons why we have what we have today, freedom. As the cape extends to the back of the canopy, it spreads out and divides into feathers, symbolizing the eagle that has flown with every aviator since the birth of aviation in 1903. The black paint has tiny sparkling stars in it, each sparkle represents an...

The Navy Legacy Flight will feature the E/A-18 Growlers  and an F4U Corsair formation flight showcasing the past and future of Naval aviation....

The U.S. Navy Blue Angels fly the F-18 Super Hornet and perform perform a combination of formation and solo maneuvers in an inspiring high energy demonstration. The four-jet diamond performs precision formation flight with the aircraft wingtips as close as 2 feet apart while performing loops, inverted rolls and even high performance turns. The two solo jets perform high energy maneuvers together and from opposite directions closing in on each other as fast as 1,000 mph. The six jets come together in the delta formation as the finale for the show, flying difficult formations and signature breaks that fill the sky with speed, sound and smoke trails!  > Click Here for more information on the Blue Angels....

The F-22 Raptor is the fastest and most maneuverable fighter jet in the world today. The F-22's twin engines produce more thrust than any other fighter. Combined with its sleek aerodynamic design, this allows the F-22 to “Supercruise” at 1.5 times the speed of sound without using fuel consuming afterburner. The F-22’s unique thrust vectoring and advanced flight controls allow it to outmaneuver any other aircraft. The F-22 Raptor demo puts thrust vectoring on full display during its demonstration defying imagination as it climbs straight up, stops in mid-air, then reverses towards the ground before flipping the nose around in a summersault at near zero forward speed. The F-22 makes sharp, sudden turns displacing and compress air into vapor and...
