Commemorative Air Force crafts highlight El Reno air show lineup

Body

The air display portion of the Second Annual El Reno Community Day and Fly-In brought a wide range of planes and helicopters to the El Reno Regional Airport.

Under the direction of David Schultz Airshows, the display began with two Sikorsky H-34 helicopters flying together in formation for the first time in more than 20 years.

Used heavily during the Korean War, the helicopters flew several passes around the airport before stopping along the flight line and hovering less than 50 feet off the ground to show their versatility.
