The pilots will be available to interact with attendees and pose for photos. Flying starts around 11:30 a.m. and will be intermittent throughout the early afternoon.

Additionally, as part of the museum's living history project, veterans are urged to attend and have their portrait taken by the museum's photographers. All veterans are invited to bring a military-time photo and a piece of memorabilia if they would like to share it in their photo.

  1. Thank You for thinking about our event! Weather permitting, the warbirds will be up... About 1:00 we will be flying our "YellowBird" it is a WW2 glider.

    The bands will be in the hangar, so bring your lawn chairs and sit a while!
