Aerobatic Performers

The 2010 In Their Honor Air Show will offer daily performances by some of the most exciting aerobatic performers available, including:

Wings of Blue Demonstration Team - from the U.S. Air Force Academy,  12 parachutists will exit a jump aircraft in 4 separate maneuvers with colored smoke. As recent National Collegiate Parachuting Champions ( for the 28th time), you'll see the most accurate sky-diving in the world!

F-22 RAPTOR - is one of the most versatile USAF fighter aircraft. Although it was designed primarily as an air superiority fighter, it also is used for ground attack, electronic warfare, and signals intelligence roles. The Air Force considers it critical part of the future of US air power.
A-10 Thunderbolt II - provides close air support of ground forces by attacking tanks, armored vehicles, and other ground targets. Designed for survivability, it incorporates a heavy automatic canon and over 1,200 pounds of armor which enable the aircraft to continue flying even after taking significant damage.
C-17 Globemaster III - from Altus Air Force base, you'll see a demonstration of this huge transport aircraft. It has the ability to rapidly deploy a combat unit to a potential battle area and sustain it with on-going supplies, as well as perform medical and airdrop missions.
The C-17 will pair off with its former cousin, the C-47 in a heritage flight. Side-by-side, they will make passes along the flight line so you can compare the two.
