F-16s and B-52 Added as Flyovers at the 2012 Vectren Dayton Air Show
Dayton, Ohio – This weekend the Vectren Dayton Air Show Presented by Kroger takes to the sky on July 7 & 8 at the Dayton International Airport. Today Air Show officials announced the addition of two flyovers at the 38th annual event that will headline the US Navy Blue Angels. Each day, two 
F-16 Fighting Falcons will perform a flyover and the mammoth B-52 Stratofortress will flyover on Saturday only.
The highly maneuverable F-16 Fighting Falcon is a compact, multi-role fighter aircraft that has proven itself in air-to-air combat and air-to-surface attack. While sleek in size, the F-16 is no light-weight in strength. Being fully loaded with fuel, the Fighting Falcon can withstand 9 G’s (9 times the force of gravity), which exceeds the capability of other current fighter aircraft. The F-16s appearing at the Vectren Dayton Air Show hail from the 112th Fighter Squadron of the 180th Fighter Wing at the Toledo Air National Guard Base.
The longest-serving bomber in U.S. military history, the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress will be hard to miss in the Air Show sky. First flying in 1952, the massive B-52 sports a 185-foot wingspan complete with eight jet engines. With a gross weight of more than 480,000 pounds, the Stratofortress is affectionately called “BUFF”, short for Big Ugly Fat Fellow. Interestingly, the concept for the B-52 was developed in Dayton during an October weekend in 1948. After an exhaustive weekend of work at the Hotel Van Cleve in Dayton, the Boeing engineers presented a plan that Monday which is essentially the same B-52 spectators will see at the air show. With its long lineage, some of the B-52’s flown by Air Force pilots today are the grandchildren of early B-52 pilots. The Saturday B-52 flyover in Dayton will come from the 93rd Bomb Squadron, of the 307th Bomb Wing at Barksdale AFB, Louisiana.
Other Air Show performers include the USAF Heritage Flight, a historic formation flight with an F-4 Phantom and a P51 Mustang; the Sea Harrier, a vertical takeoff and landing jet aircraft; TORA TORA TORA, an emotional reenactment of the bombing of Pearl Harbor complete with pyrotechnics; Michael Goulian, an acclaimed, high-energy aerobatic performer; P51 Quick Silver, a beautifully restored WWII fighter; Gene Soucy Air Shows, barnstorming and wing walking at its best; the Misty Blues, the world’s only all-woman skydiving team; and the A-4B Skyhawk, a Vietnam-era jet fighter.
Get discount general admission tickets now for the Saturday or Sunday show at over 100 Kroger stores in the Dayton-Cincinnati region. Specialty seating available at www.daytonairshow.com.

First European Air Show for Japan
Japan said its announcement today that it would be sending an aircraft to participate in its first ever European airshow this week was a step towards developing closer military ties with the UK.
A Japanese KC-767J from the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force will arrive at RAF Fairford in
Gloucestershire on Thursday (July 5) for the weekend’s Royal International Air Tattoo (July 7-8).Other than for State visits, it will represent the first time a Japanese military aircraft has touched down on British soil.
Capt (Navy) Atsushi Minami, Defence Attache at the Japanese Embassy in London said the decision to send an aircraft to the Air Tattoo was taken following visits to Japan by the RAF’s Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Dalton last year and by David Cameron in April.
Capt Minami said: “When Prime Minister Cameron paid and official visit to Japan, our two prime ministers agreed in a joint statement to upgrade bilateral defence co-operation in various fields. On instruction from the two Prime Ministers, the Japanese Defence Minister and the UK Defence Secretary signed a Defence Cooperation Memorandum earlier this month (June).
“The prodigious economic growth of countries in East Asia amid the delicate strategic balance in the region represents both an opportunity and a challenge for Japan and the UK. Japan and the UK are each other’s most important partners in Asia and Europe, respectively. We hope our participation in the Air Tattoo will enhance defence cooperation between our two countries.”
Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Dalton, said: “I am absolutely delighted to see the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force participating in this year’s Royal International Air Tattoo. During my visit to Japan, late last year, I was particularly keen to secure the attendance of the JASDF for the 2012 Air Tattoo and I am very pleased that the Taiko Drummers have also travelled to Fairford to provide some outstanding entertainment and to showcase some Japanese culture; It is my pleasure to welcome them to the United Kingdom.”
European Airshow Council Chairman Gilbert Buekenberghs said: " Whilst other nations will also be sending aircraft to European air shows for the first time this summer, most notably South Korea and Colombia, it is the backdrop against which Japan is proposing to participate that makes their visit to the Air Tattoo so significant. Whilst other far flung nations may choose not to attend for reasons of distance or cost, Japan's absence over the years has been self imposed, a restriction borne out of the Second World War. That they now feel the time is right to participate more fully on the international stage is to be applauded - and certainly one welcomed by the European airshow community."
Aviation author Lindsay Peacock said: "Since the end of World War Two, the Japanese have adhered to a pacifist clause in its constitution that prohibits it from settling international disputes with the use of military force. However, in recent times, the once strict interpretation of this clause has been relaxed somewhat, resulting in participation in training exercises such as ‘Red Flag Alaska’ as well as involvement in humanitarian efforts. In addition, Japan is now beginning to play an increasing role in global security. Sending its first ever military aircraft – a Boeing KC-767J – to an airshow in Europe is an indication of Japan's growing confidence."
In addition to its 14 crew, on board the KC-767J will be a troupe of 26 Taiko drummers from the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force. They plan a series of performances during the airshow.
The aircraft, one of four JASDF tankers, will arrive via Elmendorf US Air Force Base, Alaska, on July 5.
