    The 2019 Defenders of Liberty Air and Space Show officially kicked-off May 18, 2019 following a two-year hiatus since it was transitioned to a biennial event.

    The highly anticipated free event is expected to draw more than 100,000 attendees from across the region. This year’s headlining act includes the Royal Canadian air force’s Snowbirds aerobatic flying demonstration team. Other acts include the U.S. Army’s Black Dagger’s Special Operations Command Parachute demonstration team, the Aeroshell aerobatic team, and record breaking aerobatic champion Rob Holland.

    Maj. Benjamin Kempen, Defenders of Liberty Air and Space Show director, said the event will showcase military capabilities, while supporting partnerships within the community.

    “The Defenders of Liberty Air and Space Show will allow us to show our appreciation to the community for their support,” Kempen said. “The public will have the opportunity to see the capabilities and excellence of our service members.”

    The event will go until Sunday. For more information, visit https://barksdaleafbairshow.com/.
