Display of vintage aircraft and equipment planned at Lancaster Regional Airport (KLNC), Texas

“Warbirds on Parade” will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 30 at Lancaster Airport, 650 Ferris Road in Lancaster.

About 40 aircraft will be at the annual display of vintage warplanes and equipment. Visitors may arrive early to watch them fly in. Aircraft include “Diamond Lil,” the oldest known airworthy B-24 flying today and Soviet-era equipment such as a Hind 24 Soviet gunship. There will also be helicopters, bombers, fighters, cargoes and trainers.

Lancaster resident R.V. Burgin, who fought in the Pacific in World War II, will sign copies of his book, Island of the Damned: A Marine at War in the Pacific.

Suggested donation is $10 per carload or $5 per person. For more information, visit dfwwing.com or email fortworthbennett@charter.net.
