Salute to Veterans Corporation Airshow Set For his Weekend

By Carmelo Turdo

The Salute to Veterans Corporation 25th annual airshow is ready to take off this weekend as part of a series of Memorial Day events scheduled for the Columbia, MO area.  The airshow will feature such headliners as Aeroshell Team, Missouri CAF B-25 and TBM Avenger, a T-28 from Trojan Phlyers Team, BT-13 Valiant Echoes, U.S. Navy Aerobatics SNJ Texan, Canadian Forces Skyhawks Parachute Team, Kansas City Dawn Patrol, and other attractions on the ramp.  A time will be set aside to read the names of the fallen soldiers from the surrounding areas, and honored guests will be recognized on Saturday.  A Memorial Day parade will be held on Monday at 10am in downtown Columbia.  Show your support for this Midwest airshow that has persevered in light of the cancellation of military performers.  Here are some views of today's airshow reserved for military veterans:
