The Louisville-Winston County Airport board will be hosting the annual Wings over Winston airshow beginning at 9 a.m., Saturday, October 05.
"This will be our biggest and best show yet, with nationally known acts like Greg Koontz, Steve Covington and a very special new act, “The Immortal Red Baron.”
As in past years, the gates will open at 9 a.m. There will be free parking at the ball fields and coliseum as well as bus shuttles that will bring aerial enthusiasts to the Terminal building. There will be some beautiful aircraft on display and this year have added a few special show automobiles and motorcycles to the mix. Shuttle riders are asked to help us with the show expenses by paying a dollar for the shuttle ride. But the ride home after the show is free.
The airshow is free to the public, and there will be an outstanding array of vintage aircraft both on the ground and in the air.
Take the kids or grandkids for a ride with David Mars in his 1929 Curtiss Wright Travel Air open cockpit biplane. The gates open at 9 a.m., and the air show starts at 11 a.m. Shuttle service is available from parking lots at the city’s ball fields and Coliseum for $1.
Planes will take to the skies October 5 for the 6th annual Wings over Winston Air Show.
The Immortal Red Baron is bringing some new surprises with him this year. Steve Covington is back in Raptor, and there will be a WWII era Warbirds including a Corsair flown by Frank Kimmel of Greenwood, MS.
Food, and refreshments will be available along with souvenir programs and tee shirts.
"We have participants from all over the United States. Different performers come here and performs for us. We do this for the community. It's entertaining to the children. It's entertaining to people. They get to see a conglomerate of different aircraft,” says Louisville/Winston County Airport board member Mike Forster.
Everyone needs to know that we will not be able to have a show in 2020 due to the large construction project on the runway which starts next spring. So if you’ve been meaning to take your kids or grandkids to one of the best airshows in the south, better do it this year…and remember that they are going to love riding above Louisville in that 1929 open cockpit barnstormer.
