Eglin Air Force Base is hosting 2002 Open House and Air Show April 27 & 28 with demonstrations by the Air Force Thunderbirds, the Army Golden Knights parachute team, the Air Force Stars parachute team and many others.

The two-day event is free to the public. Gates open at 9am and close at 4:30pm.

The skills on display at the Air Show, as well as the awesome power of the Air Force, are enough to thrill the whole family. I saw the Navy's Blue Angels at Tyndall Air Force base last month, and if the Air Force puts on as good a show, you'll be amazed and excited.
