The Valiant Air Command held the 34th annual 3-day airshow. It was dedicated to the memory of "The Flying Tigers," and the 70th anniversary of their first combat mission in China. There will be some 75 vintage aircraft on display and flying in the show; great warbirds such as the B-25 Mitchell, P-51 Mustang, P-40 Warhawk, F-104 Starfighter, F-8 Crusader, Grumman Wildcat, Avenger, F-4U Corsair and more. Additionally, they have modern military jets flying and WWII re-enactors fighting mock battles, vendors, exhibits and displays. Rides available in vintage C-47 that actually flew in the Normandy invasion. There will be helicopter and bi-plane rides as well. There was plenty to do in the morning: USO-style entertainment, warbirds to photograph, combat pilots to talk to, vendors to visit and mock battles to watch.

"Lots of airplanes, many planes flying and on the ground, weather was perfect, sunny and warm. Large crowds, but plenty of parking, porta potties and concessions, very well done and organized." -Carolyn Shafer
