"We fly old WWII aircrafts," said pilot Ken Johansen. "We do formations and thrill the crowd with tactics."
A couple big attractions spectators won't see this year are the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds because of scheduling conflicts.
The show will feature the Army Golden Knights Parachute Team, an F-18 Super Hornet, A-10 Warthogs and the only B-29 Superfortress still flying.
The shows are from 10am to 3pm on Saturday and Sunday.
