Larger items such as folding or camping chairs as well as strollers, handcarts or diaper bags for the little ones are allowed, but no walking sticks, drones or weapons.
Many people look forward to seeing the Blue Angels (which take off at 3 p.m. both days), but there are many other aircraft flying in as well. One of them is a Fairchild PT-19, a World War II plane owned by Vietnam veteran Wayne Bormann.
“Aviation has been my life since I was 14,” said Bormann. “I started flying. I got my pilot’s license when I was 17 and I’ve done that my whole life. I was either turning screws or flying airplanes.”
In addition to the Blue Angels and the aforementioned PT-19, the Budweiser Clydesdale horses will also be there, as well as many other aircraft and fun activities for the whole family.
