Lunken Airport Days makes a soaring return
CINCINNATI (WXIX) - An annual event paying tribute to the military’s history is making a return to Cincinnati with Lunken Airport Days next month.
The sound of engines and aircraft will soar through the air in the Queen City as Lunken Airport Days offers guests a chance to see vintage airplanes up close and learn about their history.
“My most favorite thing is to see these antique aircraft,” Tri-State Honor Flight Director Cheryl Popp said. “They’ll be a thing in the past eventually because you just can’t…it’s an 80-year-old airplane.”
Several of these planes played a crucial role during wartime.
Visitors can tour the cockpits, view military vehicles, and even ride in a WWII bomber.
Lunken Airport Days is part open house, part fundraiser that raises money and awareness for Honor Flight Tri-State and other veterans’ groups.
The two-day event will be hosted by the Cincinnati Warbirds and kicks off Aug. 31.
