The annual Quad City Air Show is a must watch for the locals. It features top class air planes and amazing feats by the pilots.
The jets and super sonics make a colorful patterns and arrangements in the air. The bomber aircrafts fire the bombs and demonstrate their capabilities. The multiple jet synchronization and the feats are superb.
The aeroplanes twist and drop at a ninety degree angle from top to bottom and bottom to top. the expertise and skill of the pilots is commendable. I wonder how the pilots risk their lives just for the entertainment of the people.
The air show team recreate the Pearl Harbor attack which took place in 1941. In addition, the show features the American Navy Blues Angles. The dedicated top performers entertain and honor the veterans and engage the audience.
Good music and commentary along with food and drinks make a perfect afternoon for kids as well as adults. It costs $15 per head or you can just sit by the green grass by the road side and watch the aero-show.
The air show is conducted annually at the Davenport Municipal airport on the last Sunday in June. It is located at 9010 Harrison Street, Davenport, IA 52806. You can call 563-285-7469 for more information.
The airshow was splendid with the army, navy, and air force exhibits. The performances by Otto, the helicopter and the Blue Rangers left the audience spellbound.
Don’t forget to take your lawn chairs and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated amidst all the excitement. Ear buds for children is recommended as the super sonics will be zooming up with high speeds and high noise levels. 🙂
The original aircrafts were a feast to watch and the simulators were good.
