CLEVELAND (WJW) – The Cleveland National Air Show is set to begin Saturday morning as military aircraft take to the sky to dazzle watchers with precision in their performances.
Crowds will get to see U.S Airforce Thunderbirds flying high as well as the U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet and the Red Bull Air Force helicopter.
Additionally, the U.S. Army Golden Knights elite parachute team will impress crowds as their demonstrators cut themselves loose from parachutes and show off other impressive, mid-air feats.
SFC Joshua Evans is on the team and has done over a thousand jumps in his career.
“You’re just watching the crowd and at a thousand feet you can hear them, and it brings chills when I can hear that crowd at a thousand feet,” he said.
While many of the performances will have the crowds looking up, there will be interactive activities, aircraft displays and the Hot Streak II Jet Truck on the ground.
Hot Streak II has two jet engines and will reach speeds north of 350 MPH during a fun performance involving aircraft.
Hayden Proffitt will be behind the wheel, which he said is a total thrill.
“You think of an air show, you think of everything in the sky, right? So, to kind of blend, you know a lot of people can relate to a vehicle because we drive them every day, so to be able to take that blend of aviation from, essentially, a jet airplane and combine it with a car, I just think people, they can relate to it a little more,” Proffitt said.
