Presented by The National WWII Museum, the Commemorative Air Force, and the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation

November 4–6
New Orleans Lakefront Airport

From November 4 to 6, The National WWII Museum, the Commemorative Air Force, and the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation will host WWII AirPower Expo 2016 , the third annual three-day historic WWII aircraft show at New Orleans Lakefront Airport to honor the legacy of the WWII generation and to highlight the important role military aviation played in the Allied victory. New to the Expo this year are the Warbirds in Review Showcase, where aircraft are spotlighted during on-the-hour historical presentations followed by aerobatic displays, as well as a WWII Boot Camp obstacle course and a thematic salute to "The Flying Tigers"—daring US pilots who flew for the Chinese air force before the US entry in World War II. Up to four P-40 Warhawk aircraft, as flown by the Flying Tigers, are stars of a daily afternoon living-history lesson and airborne display. Throughout the Expo, visitors can touch and feel the historic planes, climb inside the cockpits, and even strap in for a chance-of-a-lifetime ride-along flight. Guests can also view ground vehicles from the Museum's collection, meet WWII veterans, visit the Bivouac area to learn more about the artifacts and vehicles from the war, and experience history hands-on with WWII uniforms and gear. In its first two years, WWII AirPower Expo attracted a total of more than 20,000 attendees, wowing seasoned pilots and everyday enthusiasts alike with its assemblage of vintage planes and WWII-veteran pilots and crew. This year, expanded programming and even more WWII airplanes taking to the sky promise to deliver a bigger, better Expo than ever. #ww2air
