| It's the 2010 Cleveland National Air Show presented by Discount Drug Mart Labor Day Weekend. In less than two months (Sept. 4, 5 and 6), experience the adventure at Burke Lakefront Airport in downtown Cleveland. | | 
| | Blue & Gold Time: Have you ever seen the "walk down" prior to takeoff for the U.S. Navy Blue Angels? You can here in Cleveland because the Blues make their weekend home at Burke Lakefront Airport. Plan to get a good spot along the fence to see that the precision in the air begins with precision maneuvers on the ground—from walking down the ramp to climbing into their planes and putting on their helmets. Make sure to get close and grab your video cameras to take it all in. Then enjoy the roar of the jets in their breathtaking demonstration of graceful aerobatics and fast-paced, high-performance maneuvers as they close out the show each day. |

| | 'Golden' World-Record Setter Jumps Here The U.S. Army Golden Knights precision parachute team is coming back to Cleveland, with the Black Demonstration team taking the skies each day to bring in the American flag and demonstrate various aerial maneuvers. One member of the team had a very "high" time this spring. SSG Ben Borger set the world record for greatest distance traveled in freefall—11.5 miles. Wearing a special winged suit, he accomplished the fete, which requires rigorous preparation, in 6 minutes 35 seconds—just 13 seconds short of the world record for freefall time. Originally started in 1959 to compete in the communist-dominated sport of skydiving, the Golden Knights have expanded to multiple teams. Besides the Gold and Black demonstration teams, the competition teams travel to both national and international skydiving events, routinely bringing home medals. The tandem team jumps with celebrities and dignitaries. Follow the Knights on their official blog. |

Performing a tactical demonstration each day, the Super Hornet is 25 percent larger and offers longer range, greater endurance, increased weapon and fuel carrying ability along with improved survivability and the capacity for future growth. | |
| | "Mr. Air Show" Set to Perform for Fans Gene Soucy, one of the most well-respected and proficient air show pilots in American aviation, flies solo his big biplane, ShowCat, and goes up again with wingwalker Teresa Stokes for a second performance. Soucy, a former member of the record-setting Eagles Aerobatic Flight Team, has been a member of two world champion U.S. aerobatic teams and won more awards than any other active Air Show pilot.
