The reenactors have set up a real military encampment to help everyone better understand and appreciate the duties and sacrifices of our veterans. You’ll see historic aircraft flyovers as they’ve scheduled multiple demonstration flights of WWII-era warbirds, and you’ll be able to take a flight in a real World War II military trainer. And everyone will thrill to the dramatic demonstration of the museum’s WWII-era M4 Sherman tank including the firing of her gun!
Several U.S. trainer aircraft will fly at the event, including a PT-17 Stearman.
