The event will feature an assortment of air demonstrations including planes and parachutes, along with military demonstrations and the Salute to Veterans parade on Monday.
The air show runs from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each day at Columbia Regional Airport and will feature more than 40 vintage and active-duty military aircraft either flying or on display. All air-show festivities are free and open to the public.
Featured air demonstrations include the "Flying Eagles," a U.S. Navy Super Hornet Tac Demo team from Lemoore, Calif., which will perform a combination of high- and low-speed maneuvering, rapid rolls, performance climbs and descents.
