McConnell Air Show: What you need to know

“A lot of us started our careers, and our dreams started by watching this air show. So, that’s our favorite thing to do. Is to come out into the communities and inspire the public to pursue their dreams,” said Capt. Travis Grindstaff, a flight surgeon with the “Thunderbirds.”

Gates for Frontiers in Flight open at 9 a.m. The air show starts at noon. The Thunderbirds will close out the show daily at 3 p.m.
