First entrance will be for the car show. Rare WWII aircraft, military vehicles and memorabilia will be on display. Every year we have an open house to honor veterans of all wars and to raise money so we can maintain, in flying condition, the airplanes used in defending our freedom.We consider these planes to be National Treasures, as there are very few of these planes left. Some of which are the only flying examples left in the world. There will be several WWII aircraft from around the area on display along with our own aircraft.In the past years we have had these planes come out: P-51D Mustang, A6M2 Zero (replica), A-26 Invader, B-17 Flying Fortress, B-25 Mitchell, Hawker Sea Fury, FG-1D (F4U-1) Corsair (made famous by Greg "Pappy" Boyington and the Black Sheep Sqaudron),R4D-6S (father of the modern day submarine hunters like the P3 Orion), plus some trainers like the PT-17 Stearman,BT-15 "Vultee Vibrator" AT-6 "Texan" PT-26 along with some Cold War aircraft like a Russian Hind Mi24 helicopter (believed to be only 1 of 8 in the U.S.) Mi2, L-29 and L-39 Trainers.
