Flying Cloud Air Expo Draws a Crowd

Flying Cloud Airport hosted the 2017 Air Expo last weekend, drawing a crowd estimated at approximately 7,000 total for the two-day event.

The Air Expo included more than 40 vintage planes, highlighted by a B-17 Flying Fortress, a P-51D Mustang and a B-25 Mitchell Bomber.

The event drew a large crowd of military veterans and aircraft enthusiasts from all over the country.

A group of U.S. Marines from North Carolina flew in two Sikorsky CH-53 transport helicopters (one pictured above), which are capable of lifting a tank or other heavy equipment. The helicopters are the largest and heaviest helicopters used by the U.S. military and were a popular draw on the Flying Cloud airfield, with a Marine Corps recruiting booth set up between them.

Air rides were available for purchase, and a dinner and symposium were held Saturday.

The symposium also featured an appearance by Story Musgrave, an astronaut who has flown the Space Shuttle and hundreds of other aircraft.
