Air Show season coming to an end

Air shows in the Dakotas bring a sense of history to the next generation. People from all over the area come to enjoy the fresh air as well as see what the military has to offer.  Some are the newest planes.  Others are of the older variety.  Some of the most prominent of these old planes has been to North Dakota twice, at least since I have been paying attention. The plane was a Japanese Zero.

The Zeros were the greatest plane of the Japanese Imperial Army. They brought down many United States Pilots. They even went so far as to sink American battleships and aircraft carriers.These famous war planes are most famous for their kamikaze strikes against their targets. The strikes meant that very few of these planes that survived the war. Even fewer are still flight capable, only one to be exact. This one plane has been to North Dakota twice in the last decade. It is a great sight for any person who likes history.

The zero is a great reason for anyone to go to an airshow, but there is so much more to see. There are Mustangs, which came from the same era as the Zero. There are modern planes, that are also showcased. Below are some pictures of new and old planes:
