Air ShowThe Offutt Air Show is the event to attend for "Air World" enthusiasts. Generally each year, Offutt Air Force Base has opened its doors to the public for the open-house and Air Show event (no 2017 Air Show due to worldly events). Expect to see paratroopers such as the Golden Knights from North Carolina, stunt planes, and the Thunderbirds or Blue Angels. Depending on schedules of availability, there will be one or the other fighter jet flying team. They tend to alternate, giving equal time to each team. After the show, you can get an autographed picture of the flying team and see the aircraft a little closer. For a young kid to get to meet one of these "flying heroes" could be all it takes to inspire a future you will be proud of. Very likely sometime during the show, you will get to see a "Looking Glass" plane land or take off. Together with the president at command in "Air Force 1," the "flying command post" give the chief in command the ability to command the nation's military from the air in the event of a war. The Looking Glass missions have maintained at least one airplane in the air since the 1960s. Offutt will also have several aircraft on display during the open house. Some are viewable only from the outside, while others, like the larger cargo planes, you can walk inside. Some planes even have a ladder up to the cockpit where you can sit at the controls. |
