The highlight of the show will be the flight of the P-51 Mustang, a single flyer plane characterized by a snarling, jagged-toothed bird painted on its nose. One of the great "war birds," the P-51 Mustang is credited with helping the Allies win WWII.
The two museums will have several special displays, including the TV-series M*ASH tent at the Guard Museum and a P-51, a Lifestar helicopter, and aircraft from the Commemorative Air Force from Wichita at the Combat Air Museum.
Flybys begin at 9:30 am, and include sky divers and a field of planes: P-51 Mustang, Army Lakota, War Birds, T-6 Texan, Cobra Helicopter, T-33 Shooting Star, F-86 Sabre Jet and much more. Aircraft also will be landing at the airport for public viewing.
