The air show will honor Keesler’s history and today’s mission, embracing innovative training and community partnerships.
“We have booked several heritage airframes that were previously assigned to Keesler Air Force Base for pilot training, such as the T-28 Trojan and C-21 Learjet,” said Lt Col John Connors, Air Show director. “There will also be a re-enactment of the bombing of Pearl Harbor on Keesler, complete with Japanese Zeros and a large pyrotechnic display simulating bombings.”
There will be civilian crowd viewing areas at both Biloxi Beach and the flight line at Keesler. Acts such as Tora! Tora! Tora!, the Trojan Phlyers, Patty Wagstaff and Chef Pitts are scheduled to be performing over Keesler in the morning to early afternoon while the beach is planned to have several aircraft flyovers as well as the Thunderbirds aerobatic performance in the late afternoon.
