The Redline Airshow, a father-son aerobatic duo piloting matching RV-8s, high-performance single-engine aircraft, is making its debut at the 38th annual Festival of Flight.
The event will be held at the Oakland County International Airport from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 10, in Waterford. Admission and parking are free.
“The Festival of Flight is a celebration of aviation and community right in the heart of Oakland County,” said County Executive David Coulter. “It brings families together for an unforgettable experience that showcases the excitement of flight.”
The air show runs from 1:30 to 3 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early for the air performance. Joining the Redline Airshow will be performers soaring above the crowd by parachute and plane:
• Misty Blues, an all-women skydiving team
• Stephen Covington flying "The Raptor"
• Skip Stewart flying "Prometheus The Flying Machine" Biplane
Guests can explore an array of vintage and modern planes and vehicles from military to civilian, including a Ford Tri-Motor, an SB2C Helldiver, a B-25 Mitchell Bomber, a McKinnon G21 Goose and a Gruman TBM-3E Avenger Torpedo Bomber.
Attendees can also take flight in an aircraft and a helicopter, which costs $50 per person.
The Festival of Flight creates a fun and educational experience for the whole family. Oakland County Parks will offer a “Kids Zone” play area. The Oakland County Health Division and Oakland County Emergency Management will host a health and safety fair with giveaways including first aid kits, power banks and lock boxes/bags. There will also be 30 vendors selling food, drinks and desserts.
The success of the Festival of Flight would not be possible without the support of its sponsors Williams International, Crosswinds Aviation, Royal Air Charter, Pentastar Aviation, Concorde Batteries, Mead & Hunt, LL Johns Aviation Insurance, Comcast, Mark Meuwissen and more.
