About the Aircraft
Due to their historic nature, several of the participating aircraft must follow visual flight rules, which require them to only fly in weather clear enough for the pilot to see the ground.
In the event of inclement or cloudy weather, select aircraft may not be able to fly in.
The photos and video of the aircraft on this page are from previous events and do not guarantee these particular aircraft will participate in this year's event.
