The Flight Line
Rare warbirds spanning American military aviation — all in one place, for one day.
Aircraft 01
RAF · WWII
The elegant fighter that defended the skies over Britain during the darkest days of 1940. The Spitfire became famous during the Battle of Britain and remains one of the most recognizable Allied aircraft of WWII.
Did You Know
This year's display highlights the RAF Spitfire as one of the signature aircraft visitors can see up close on the flight line.
Aircraft 02
Luftwaffe · WWII
The Me-262 was the first military jet ever to see combat. Introduced in 1944, it was one of Hitler's so-called 'Wonder Weapons' and represented a dramatic leap ahead in speed and technology.
Did You Know
Hangar films during the event also cover the Me-262, and displays nearby include authentic German WWII items and pilot uniforms.
Aircraft 03
D-Day · WWII
This actual C-47 dropped US paratroops into France on June 6, 1944. It remains one of the most powerful artifacts on the field — a transport aircraft visitors can board and experience firsthand.
Did You Know
Event films also tell the story of the D-Day C-47, and visitors can climb aboard for a tour of this piece of American history.
Aircraft 04
Vietnam
One of the day's biggest family favorites, the Huey lets kids and grandparents climb aboard, meet the pilots who flew it in Vietnam, and sit at the controls around the guns and cockpit.
Did You Know
For many visitors, hearing the stories of Huey crews in person is just as memorable as stepping inside the aircraft itself.
Aircraft 05
USAAF Trainer
Metal was in short supply during WWII and badly needed for combat aircraft, so pilots were often trained in lighter aircraft like the PT-19, built largely of wood.
Did You Know
Stop by the hangar to see the PT-19 up close and learn how it helped prepare a generation of wartime pilots.
