HOMESTEAD, FLA. (WSVN) - Before this weekend’s Wings Over Homestead Air Show, members of the U.S. Air Force showed off a pair of fighter jets at Miami International Airport.
County officials, along with the media, got a sneak peek of the Air Show when pilots landed two F-16 Falcon fighter jets, Thursday morning.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and Miami-Dade Aviation Department officials were on hand.
“We’re thrilled to be here with these brave pilots that have shown their all,” said Levine Cava. “It’s so amazing what they can do.”
“We’re honored to be here and we’re excited about our relationship with the local community,” said U.S. Airforce Colonel Joshua Padgett.
In addition to the USAF Thunderbirds flying six F-16 Fighting Falcons, the Wings Over Homestead Air Show will feature modern military demonstrations, vintage aircraft, the top civilian aviators, military vehicles, and aviation-related items on the ground for up-close viewing by the public.
“Come on down to Homestead this weekend!” said Levine Cava.
The event takes place this weekend at the Homestead Air Reserve Base and is expected to draw more than 100,000 attendees.
