PALM COAST, Fla. - The 'Warbirds over Flagler' event at the Flagler Executive Airport has been announced for Saturday, March 23rd and Sunday, March 24th, the county government announced in a release on Friday. Organizers say the event is a way to showcase military aircraft both new and old and to pay tribute to the nation's veterans.
Those looking to attend can view the show at the south side of the Flagler Executive Airport off of Fin Way according to the event website, the same location it was held at last year. The event is also accepting vendor applications online.
“It’s a great opportunity to get up close to living history, modern military aircraft, and inspire our next generation of aviators,” said Airport Director Roy Sieger. “What better way to celebrate veterans and the freedom we have because of them.”
The gates to the event will open at 10:00 am on both Saturday and Sunday, and attendees can take in the music, vendor booths, and displays. The days' opening ceremonies will be held at 12:00 pm, with a performance of the national anthem, a few speeches, and a series of flybys and remote-controlled aircraft demonstrations, according to the county's statement.
“This dynamic event brings together some of the most historical and impressive aircraft from WWII to present day,” Sieger continued. “The admission fee is only a $5 charge per carload each day (for those attending both days). What a bargain!”
