2026 Warbird Flying Showcase (Saturday, September 19, 2026)

The Tri-State Warbird Museum proudly presents the 6th Annual Warbird Flying Showcase happening on September 19, 2026.

What is a Warbird Flying Showcase?

Every year we celebrate aviation history and honor our nation's veterans. This year’s Festival of Warbirds will be showcasing more than 10 flying WWII aircraft!

This family friendly activity brings history to life, as we have always believed in the power of the stories these aircraft can tell while in the sky.

We will have a food truck serving food all afternoon and Graeter's Ice Cream will also be on site serving the best ice cream in the tri-state area. Be sure to bring your own folding chairs or a picnic blanket to sit on our lawn in front of the runway!
