Height thirty two, the fifty five KRC de Talks Nation
as we wind up summertime. Got some great things going
on this weekend, including the Lunkin Airport Days. Welcome back
to the fifty five KRC Morning Show from the Cincinnti Warbirds.
James Stitt, Great to have you on this morning. Good morning, Brian,
(00:21):
great to be here. So it is the return of
the lunk and Airport Days. How many years have you
been doing this?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Oh, it's over over twenty years. It's become quite a
Cincinnati tradition. We're very proud of it.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
It sure has and it's such a neat event to
see these historic aircraft. Cincinnati Warbirds dot org is the
website where you can find the Warbirds. Generally speaking, just
remind my listeners what the who the war Birds are
and what you do, and whether there's an opportunity for
people who are interested in historic aircraft and military and
things like that, if there's an opportunity for them to
(00:55):
maybe join in the fun with the Warbirds.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Absolutely well. Our Logan Airport Days event is certainly a
great way for patriotic families and aviation history bus to
spend Labor Day weekend. This year, we're going to be
featuring several historic World War Two military aircraft, including a
B twenty five bomber, which was the same type used
in the Do Little raids at the beginning of the war.
(01:20):
Also the B twenty nine Doc one of only two
still flying in the world, the same type of aircraft
that was used to bring an end to World War Two.
We'll have a P fifty one Mustang Gunfighter, pre eminent
fighter in the European theater, and T six Texan that
trained all World War Two pilots. They'll all be offering
(01:41):
right experiences and ground tours from Thursday through Monday.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
That's wonderful. Where do you acquire these aircraft?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Well, there are groups that preserve and restore these aircraft
are essentially flying museums, and then tour around the country
to raise money to keep them flying and preserve them.
So I make arrangements with the owners and operators of
those aircraft. Plus, we have some some here in Cincinnati
(02:11):
from the Tri State Warbird Vision that will also be
on tap.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Right, and that's opened throughout the year. Right the war
Bird Museum.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yes, yes, they're open on Saturdays and Wednesdays for the public,
and they'll have some aircraft on display. Specifically when the
big open house is going on Saturday and Sunday, we'll
have lots of other aircraft on display, along with helicopter rides,
classic cars, military vehicles, exhibits, food trucks, and color guard
(02:41):
ceremony at noon on each day.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
That's wonderful. I just think you're gonna be doing a
flyover on Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Absolutely, that's how we cap this off. Sunday afternoon and
early evening, the Cincinnati Warbirds will be doing formation flyovers
of Riverfest, entertaining all the crowds that are waiting for
the WEBN fireworks.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
That's got to be really cool. I love watching them
fly over. I'm up in Simms Township, so when you're
doing these events, I quite often see the historic aircraft
fly over our neighborhood because they're doing loops in and
out lunk and it's just the neatest thing, and it's
such a distinctive sound compared to modern aircraft, like, oh
my god, I know the World War two B twenty
nine is out there because you can hear the rumble
of those of those prop engines. So now people are
(03:24):
going to get a ride on these. I know that
you mentioned the B twenty nine Doctors too, left, Is
that one of the airplane that people can purchase an
opportunity to ride on?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Absolutely? Absolutely, The B twenty nine, B twenty five, fifty one,
and T six all will be offering rides. And if
you go to our websites in Steady warbirds dot org,
you'll find links there where you can go online and
sign up in advance, because the bookings fill up pretty fast.
I imagine when they're not flying, and when they're not
(03:54):
flying you can also see them the insides when they're
on ground display.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Well, this intrigues me. Is this the PIECE fifty one gunfighter?
How many is that like? Two seats?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yes, yes, it's a little tight for the second seat
because it was designed to be a single seat fighter.
But yes, it has two seats and it's this fantastic experience.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I can't imagine. So, presumably fewer spots for the PIE
fifty one gunfighter than the B twenty nine bomber, because
I presume you put more than just one passenger on
the B twenty nine when it goes out.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yes, me, twenty nine I think has ten or eleven
seats and the B twenty five is six I believe.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
All right, So what time do we need to be there,
what time do the gates open, what time does the
events start, and what do we need to know about
by way of specific times.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Well, Thursday through Monday the rides will be taking place.
The first one will be at nine o'clock in the morning,
and depending on how many flights are booked throughout the day,
they're generally not flying in the afternoon. So between nine
and five Thursday through Monday. The airport open house will
(05:11):
be ten am to four pm on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
And Sunday ten am to four pm Saturday and Sunday
Lunkin Airport's place B for the Cincinnai war Birds. Lunkin
Airport Days sounds like a great time again. Helicopter rides
got the Vinaited aircraft on display. Classic Cars. I'm a
car guy. I don't have a classic car, but I
love cars. Maybe some of my listeners are out there going, oh,
I'd love to participate in the classic car rally. Is
(05:36):
it still open for people to show up or how
does the classic car thing work?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Well, Saturday, we're pretty much booked up. We've got space
for about twenty five cars. They're booked up on Sunday.
We still have some openings though, so if you want
to bring your classic car down on Sunday, just be
there at nine o'clock and we'd be glad to have you.
By the way, it's free admission to the public, no
charge for parking. And it looks like we've got a
(06:03):
great weather forecast all week in long term.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Oh yes, Jim, we're in We're in my wheelhouse when
it comes to weather this time. So Jim Stitt from
