Mihail Kogalniceanu International Airport’s first air show, free and open to the public, brought together civilian and military aircraft from multiple countries including Romanian, Italian, and American Armed Forces. All parties volunteered to entertain and educate the local community.
The U.S. Military was invited to participate in the celebration, providing vehicle and equipment displays for the event involving a fire truck and ambulance from the 1440th Firefighting Detachment, Michigan National Guard; a UH-60 Blackhawk from 3rd Assault Helicopter Battalion, 1st Aviation Regiment, from Fort Riley, Kansas; and a Humvee brought by 152nd Movement Control Team, from Fort Carson, Colorado.
People from the local community gained a chance to explore and interact with U.S. Service Members and the U.S. Military equipment on display.
