CLEVELAND, Ohio – Warbirds from the past will be featured July 19-20 in the Gathering of Eagles XVIII Air Show at Lost Nation Airport, 38550 Jet Center Place, in Willoughby.
The show is presented by the Cleveland-based United States Aviation Museum which uses a portion of proceeds from the event to support restoration of a vintage World War II Boeing B-29 Superfortress.
Aircraft planned for the show include a B-25 bomber, Corsair fighter, F-86 jet, and cargo planes such as the C-47, C-46 and C-54 – a plane widely used during the Berlin Airlift of 1948-1949.
Military displays and re-enactors, and a classic car show, also will be featured at the event that runs from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on July 19, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on July 20. Planes will be flying both days from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Representatives from the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center will be at the show to talk to veterans about VA benefits.
Admission is $13 for adults, $7 for children 4-12 years old, and $25 for couples.
The U.S. Aviation Museum has spent the past 26 years restoring a B-29 that was built for service during World War II. The bomber has the cartoon character "Doc" from the Disney movie "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" painted on its nose.
Details on the restoration, which is underway in Wichita, Kansas, can be found at www.b-29doc.com.
