(Subject to Change)

Our own C-47 Tico Belle will drop the Leap Dogs Parachute Demonstration Team to open the show, carrying the American Flag. John Black and his Super Decathlon aerobatic airplane will circle the jumpers. Navy veteran Doug Matthews will fly a demonstration routine in his Korean-war vintage Lockheed T-33 trainer. Mark Sorenson's Twin Tiger Airshow will feature two Yak 55M trainers. Paul Schulten wil fly his custom built Christen Eagle biplane in a spectacular acrobatic routine. The Geico Skytipers will fly their six ship formation of WWII era North American T-6/SNJ "Texan" trainers in an amazing display of precision performance. Tim Plunkett will present "the Red Baron vs. Snoopy," as the WWI Sopwith Camel and Fokker DR-1 Triplane re-create the aerial combat of a century ago! Jim Tobul's F4U-4 Corsair ("Whistling Death" to its WWII Japanese opponents) brings us the sound of its 2450 horsepower 18 cylinder radial engine in one of our most revered fighter aircraft; victor over hundreds of Axis adversaries in WWII, and (like this beautiful example) a powerful and effective attack aircraft in Navy and Marine Corps units during the Korean War. The legendary Lockheed F-104 of the Starfighters team, flown by Rick Svetkoff. Mach II in 1954! Phenomenal speed and climb, accented by one of the truly unique sound tracks in all of aviation history. We salute the Tuskegee Airmen and their exceptional accomplishments in war and in changing our society, as Doug Matthews' P-51 Mustang demonstrates fighter escort techniques with B-25 Mitchell medium bombers. Our own C-47 Tico Belle demonstrates combat parachute operations, using WWII type procedures and equipment, in commemoration of the massive airdrops of D-Day at Normandy, Operation Market Garden and Operation Varsity, the crossing of the Rhine River. Greg Connell amazes us with the phenomenal maneuverability of his Pitts Special biplane, and the sound of its unique and powerful radial piston engine. Doug Matthews' P-51 The Rebel returns for a solo routine, and treats us to the magnificent sound of its Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 inline engine. Dale Dollarhide flies the Douglas A4C, demonstrating the exceptional performance and maneuverability of the long serving Navy attack stalwart. Lots of punch in a small package! Our members demonstrate mass formation techniques as they fly two generations of military aircraft for your entertainment. Matt Younkin flies his 70 year old Beech 18 twin engine transport in an amazing display of aerobatic skill. We salute the aircraft of the Korean War with a formation fly-by. The show concludes with Jerry McCart's Wicked Willy Jet car, in a race against a flying jet aircraft. We also welcome two legendary Navy attack aircraft. The Curtiss SB2C Helldiver, last dive bomber to serve in the fleet, brought destruction to Japanese shipping and shore installations. Its postwar replacement, the Douglas AD Skyraider, earned an unsurpassed reputation for toughness and effectiveness, from its pilots, the ground units it supported in Korea and Vietnam, and from the dozens of downed pilots who owe their freedom to its brawn and presence as a rescue escort.
