Olympia, WA – Museum Hosts 13th Annual Olympic Air Show The
Western Washington air show season kicks off on Father’s Day Weekend at the
celebrated Olympic Air Show, hosted by the Olympic Flight Museum at the Olympia
Regional Airport. This 13th anniversary event, held June 18-19,

West Coast Demonstration Team! Also visiting for the first time is the
Commemorative Air Force’s B-17 Flying Fortress Sentimental Journey, and the
B-25 Mitchell Maid In The Shade. The Olympic Air Show is recognized for
its wide variety of military aircraft, from nostalgic vintage bi-planes to
high-performance jets. As the largest warbird-only gathering in the Pacific
Northwest, the show features three hours of outstanding aerobatic performances
by visiting aircraft, in addition to the low-level aerobatic demonstration by
the museum’s own P-51D Mustang, American Beauty. The museum will also
exhibit helicopters from its collection, including a UH-1H Huey, AH-1 Cobra,
OH-6 Cayuse “Loach”, and the only flying example of a Kaman HH-43 Huskie.
Military aircraft and displays are represented from all military branches and
eras from WWII, Korea and Vietnam. In addition, other event features include a
WWII encampment with authentic military vehicles and uniformed personnel, an
operational Vietnam Landing Zone, and a festive USO-style show with live
band. The Budweiser Beer Garden, food and merchandise vendors, and a variety
of youth activities will be onsite as well. This weekend event promises
to deliver the excitement of heritage aviation that visitors anticipate. Early hotel reservations are highly
