Air Show Coming to Waukegan September 9, 2017
The Northern Illinois Air Show, an annual event, formerly known as Wings Over Waukegan, will take place at Waukegan National Airport, 2601 W. Plane Rest Drive, on Sept. 9. Gates open at 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m.
The opening ceremony begins at noon with a 9/11 tribute featuring a color guard and singing of the national anthem under a dramatic presentation by the Quad City Skydivers flying the American flag and trailing smoke.
“While not an exclusively military air show, most of the performing aircraft are former U.S. and foreign military fighter or combatant training aircraft,” said Tom Coogan of Northbrook, Northern Illinois Air Show president. (continue to story). Written by Zion-Benton News Staff.
