“I am so excited,” said 2nd Bomb Wing Commander Col. Mark Dmytryszyn. “The inner 8-year-old in me is ready to go. This year’s airshow we have five hours of nothing but in the air airplane action. The F-22 demonstration team is going to be here, we are going to get a B-2 flyby, you’re going to see WWII vintage bombers, fighters and a whole mix in-between, plus the Thunderbirds are headlining. We of course will also have the mighty B-52 home here at Striker Nation and 2nd Bomb Wing here at Barksdale.”
