Demonstrations include an F-15 fighter and a Heritage flight where an F-15 and P51 Mustang fly in formation. The 69th Battalion will perform a Vietnam rescue demonstration complete with a "wall of fire." Other war eras will be remembered with aerial dogfights between a Japanese Zero and P51 Mustang.

Volunteers can help with everything from the USO dance, which opens the show, to directing aircraft and setting up displays, said Bruce Loy, airport manager. No aircraft experience is necessary.

The show is planned in conjunction with other Fourth of July celebrations during the week prior to July 10. For more information or to volunteer, contact Loy at 334-6230.
