ShawFest 2010 will offer spectators the chance to see a wide variety of military aircraft spanning the history of military aviation.
Some of the planes that will be on display here include:
The North American B-25 Mitchell will be one of the aircraft performing in the air show. The design for the B-25 was accepted August 10, 1939, as part of the Army Air Corps search for a medium bomber. It was made immortal April 18, 1942, when it became the first U.S. aircraft to bomb the Japanese mainland. This was the aircraft flown by Lt. Col. James Doolittle. It was the heaviest plane at the time to be flown from a ship at sea. Today, approximately 34 remain flying, most as warbirds, and at least one as an aerial camera platform in Hollywood. ...
