The Selfridge Air National Guard Base Air Show and Open House is honoring World War II veterans this year, along with the traditional air show and display of the military equipment at the base. The show is planned for July 9th and 10th. The theme of this year’s show is “Celebrating the Next Century of Flight at Selfridge”.

The Harrison Township base is open to the public from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day, and admission is free. Preferred seating is available for purchase. The air shows are held from noon to 4:00 each day.

An extensive roster of aircraft will be performing in the air, with appearances by rare and unique planes. The full list can be found at teamselfridge.com.

Fifty World War II veterans will be special guests at Selfridge on July 9th. World War II veterans are getting close to 100 years old if they have not already reached that milestone.
