AirVenture saw significant attendance, with crowded exhibition areas and aircraft parking filling up early in the event.
The air show featured a diverse range of aircraft, including vintage warbirds like B-25s and B-29s, modern military jets such as the B-1 and F-35, and various ultralights and experimental designs.
Notable moments included the historic joint flight of two B-29 bombers, FIFI and Doc, marking their first shared sky appearance in 50 years, alongside dynamic aerobatic performances.
