Within the first hour of the gates’ opening, thousands of spectators flooded the station to try to obtain the best seats on the flight line for the air show. Attractions included 24 static aircraft displays, typical American cuisine, live music and the main attraction, the air show. Read the full story on pages 6 and 7.
