Dayton Air Show adds C-17 Globemaster III to 2022 lineup
DAYTON, Ohio (WKEF) -- The 2022 CenterPoint Energy Dayton Air Show Presented by Kroger is adding another flight demonstration to the lineup.
The U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III , one of the largest and most flexible military transport aircraft, will be at the Dayton International Airport on July 30 and July 31.
“We are excited to have the C-17 team added to our 2022 show. Their performance not only demonstrates how this massive aircraft flies in a real-world mission, it takes flying to the next level to wow audiences,” said Scott Buchanan, Chairman of the United States Air & Trade Show Board of Trustees, producers of the show. “The C-17 is also a hometown aircraft so to see it fly at the show will be amazing."
The return of the C-17 team will bring Centerville-native Maj. Ryan Versen back to the buckeye state. Versen is currently serving as an instruction pilot at Joint Base Charleston in South Carolina.
According to the Air Force, the C-17 Globemaster III flies as fast as 590 mph. It will be joined by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, U.S Army Golden Knights, TORA! TORA! TORA! and many other performers and attractions.
