The event had scale military aircrafts and it was free for the public to watch. The event also worked and paired with Eastern Iowa Honor Flight, that works with veterans. Eastern Iowa Honor Flight accepted donations at the event as well. To view live television coverage of the event, you can watch HERE and HERE.
