Presented by the Commemorative Air Force, the B-17 Flying Fortress Texas Raiders is one of only three remaining that are actively touring in the U.S. today. The iconic B-17 will open the airshow, delivering the American flag to show center in the hands of the USAF Academy Wings of Blue parachute team! Also attending will be the popular SNJ / T6 Texan advanced trainer in which thousands of airmen trained for combat. Both warbirds will offer cockpit tours during the show, and flights before and after airshow performance times.
Airshow attendees can tour the big bomber on Saturday and Sunday during airshow public hours, and for nominal admission can take a B-17 cockpit tour that includes commentary from crew members. Admission to tour the B-17 is $10 per adult, $5 for children under 12, and $20 for a family of up to five.
