P-51 Gunfighter
Gunfighter is one of the world’s most famous P-51 Mustangs. The aircraft has been offering ride flights and thrilling crowds at air shows for more than 40 years. The aircraft is a P-51 D Model Mustang, serial
number 44-73264. Of the approximately 15,000 P-51s produced during WWII, less than 150 airworthy examples exist world-wide in museums, flying or under restoration. Gunfighter is owned and operated by the Commemorative Air Force (CAF). The CAF is the largest operator of historic aircraft in the world with over 175 aircraft and 13,000 members.
ReMax Skydiving Team
A team of three expert skydivers comprise the Re/Max Skydiving Team. They are carried to 5,000 feet in a Cessna C-206 jump plane where they free fall at speeds of over 120 miles per hour maneuvering by
using their arms and legs as wings. After about ten seconds of freefall, they open their chutes at 2,500 feet. These modern day parachutes are steerable ram-air canopies designed to provide forward drive and lift much like the wing of an airplane, and each skydiver is always wearing two parachutes, a main and a reserve.

September 9, 2024, Update:
The Helldiver has unfortunately come across some engine issues and will no longer be able to participate in the Air Show.
CAF Helldiver (SB2C)
This is the only one still flying today out of 7,140 built and one of only five complete aircraft remaining. This aircraft first flew into combat in the campaign for
Rabaul in November 1943. The Helldiver was Navy carrier based and U.S. Marine island based. It was significantly faster and more potent than the SBD and responsible for more ship tonnage sunk during WWII than any other aircraft.
