Cleveland National Air Show



We experienced the presence at the Cleveland National Air Show that returned to Burke Lakefront Airport after a year's absence. This year's display is as big as ever with the presence of the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels which was the highlight of the show. There were civilian aircraft, both commercial and general, as well.











The U.S. Coast Guard brought a helicopter. The Royal Canadian Air Force sent a Hawk fighter plane.





And there were some vintage war birds in the form of the Yankee Air Museum's B-25 and B-17 bombers of World War II vintage, as well as a flawlessly restored TBM Avenger built by General Motors near the end of World War II.
Their flights and those of other demonstration aircraft were against the backdrop of a brilliant blue sky. There was a possibility of rain, but it never happened.The show continues Sunday and Monday. Gates open at 9 a.m. Flying begins at 10.

We enjoyed the day as we stayed there till the end of the show.
