BELLEVUE, Neb. (KMTV)
Offutt Air Force Base’s Defenders of Freedom Open House and Air Show
returns. Here are 10 things from the air show’s website you need to know
about going and having a good time:
1. When
The air show runs Saturday, July 19 and Sunday, July 20. The base gates will open at 8 a.m.
2. Parking
Organizers
say there is limited parking on base and recommend taking advantage of
multiple off-base parking locations with a shuttle to the air show. Park
and Ride locations are at Bellevue West, Bellevue University, South
Roads, Bellevue East, and Offut Air Force Base (Bellevue gate behind the
Sarpy County Museum) AFWA Lot. (Click each location for a Bing map)
3. Taking the shuttle
The
shuttle will run from 8:45 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days. The last ride to
the air show will leave at 3 p.m. Organizers says those in line at 3 p.m
will still get a ride, but anyone after that will be turned away. The
shuttles will run back to the parking lots until everyone has been
returned.
4. Air act times
Air acts are scheduled for noon and 4 p.m., but depend on the weather and Air Boss.
5. Biking to the air show
This
year you can bicycle to the air show. Organizers have set up bike lanes
that lead right up to the gate of the base. From there, you’ll ride
your bike to a bicycle-only lot. Helmets are required and cyclists must
go single-file.
6. What not to bring
Attendees can expect to
go through security where the following items will be taken and not
returned: firearms, knives, any instrument used for cutting or slashing,
pepper spray/MACE, fireworks, sparklers, coolers, backpacks, briefcases
and packages.
Small purses, fanny packs and diaper bags are allowed, but will be searched.
7. Air performers include:
Blue Angels, F-22 Raptor, Michael Goulian, Trojan Horsemen, Leap Frogs and more.
8. Planes on display include:
A-10 Thunderbolt II, F-15E Strike Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon and more.
