Cleveland National Air Show

A Labor Day tradition in Northeast Ohio since 1964, the Cleveland National Air Show regularly attracts 60,000 to 100,000 visitors to Burke Lakefront Airport, making it one of the region's largest annual events. This year's show will include a lineup of military jet demonstrations, including the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, F-35A Lightning II and A-10C Thunderbolt II. The event will also feature vintage WWII warbirds including a B-25 Mitchell Bomber and B-17 Flying Fortress. The U.S. Air Force Thunderbird pilots will put their jets through a choreographed performance each day at speeds up to 500 miles per hour. The F-35A Lightning II demonstration will highlight the aircraft's speed, agility and "high-G turning." Cleveland is one of only 15 cities in North America to host these demonstrations. Advance general admission tickets cost $23 for adults and $14 for children ages 6 to 11. (Prices are $2 more at the gate.) Admission is free for children 5 and younger. Consult the website for a complete schedule and for other ticket options. (Niesel) clevelandairshow.com.
