The 2015 Air Show featured the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds! They were joined by the ground-shaking U.S. Marine Corps Harrier and U.S. Navy Super Hornet tactical demonstrations. Air show fans were left in awe by aerobatic legend Sean D. Tucker and three time U.S. Unlimited Aerobatic Champion Rob Holland. WWII aircraft included the B-25 Mitchell Bomber “Yankee Warrior” and Red Tail P-51 Mustang. Spectators were also able to feel the heat with World Famous Shockwave Jet Truck and learn about rescue missions with the U.S. Coast Guard MH-65C Helicopter demonstration. Inside the gates, visitors were able to get up close with a number military and civilian statics including U.S. Air Force C-130 Hercules, U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster, U.S. Marine Corps AV-8B Harrier and U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook. Ground attractions included the NASA Glenn Research Center Display, CAF Red Tail Squadron Rise Above Exhibit, and the new U.S. Air Force Performance Lab. Air Show fans felt the heat this year with temperatures in the 90s each show day. Due to the impact of Federal Government Sequestration budget cuts on the Department of Defense, military static displays were limited to civilian air shows.
