I love air shows. Especially when I get to go up into the wild blue yonder in a flying piece of American military history.

Sheppard Air Force Base is a huge part of the mosaic that makes up Wichita Falls. Even so, it's a part of our city that most of us don't get to visit very often. That's why it's always fun when they have an open house. Some years it's a big, blowout, Independence Day celebration. Other years it's an Air Show.
