The 27th Annual Salute to Veterans Memorial Day Celebration and Airshow at Columbia, MO Regional Airport honored fallen veterans in a variety of ways.  Today's post highlights the variety of ground and aerial activities that have become traditions at the event:  display of current and World War II-era military aircraft with their crews available to interact with visitors; U.S. Army Golden Knights performance; presentation of honored guests with previous military service; and aerial salutes to veterans of all eras.  We focus on today's display of the McDonnell Douglas/Boeing C-17 airlifter, U.S. Army Golden Knights precision parachute performance, and airshows provided by U.S. Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey, F/A-18E Super Hornet, T-33 Ace Maker, T-28 Trojan, and the Canadian Forces Snowbirds.
