Description
Harnett County will host the second annual Wings Over Harnett fly-in Saturday, October 17, 2015, at Harnett Regional Jetport at 615 Airport Road, Erwin.
Organizers hope to surpass last year's event which saw more than 5,000 people converge on the jetport to watch the Golden Knights jump onto the airport runway, and to see a wide array of attractions including historic aircraft and military vehicles.
This year, Wings Over Harnett will feature a jump by the All Veteran Group, a group of active and retired military veterans that uses parachute demonstrations and tandem jump experiences to bring positive attention to the military and veterans.
This year's event will honor veterans of the Vietnam War on the 50th anniversary commemoration of the war.
Other activities will include a classic car cruise-in, military displays, helicopter rides, activities for the kids, information booths and plenty of food vendors.
Another exciting element of this year's event is the Wings Over Harnett 5k, a unique 5k experience that will take place on the airport runway prior to the event.
Wings Over Harnett is a free event for the public. Gates will open at 11 a.m. with the event running from noon until 5 p.m.
