WEST MILFORD — All eyes will be skyward this weekend as the Greenwood Lake Airport hosts its annual Greenwood Lake Air Show and WWII Showcase, Saturday and Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The engines of flying machines of the era will go from rumble to roar, as some of the best air show performers take to the sky.
There will be the T6 Formation, Jane Wicker the Wing Walker and the featured performers Gary Ward, and the Twin Tigers Aerobatic Team Duo.
Members of the famed Tuskeegee Airmen and other veteran pilots will be on hand to tell stories about flying sorties and surviving dog fights. Lt. Gottfried Dulias who was shot down over Russian territory and held prisoner for three years will be at the showcase to share his story. Second Lt. Jack Widowski will also be among the guest speakers. Widowski served as a navigator on the atomic missions that brought World War II to a close.
The event will have plenty of live entertainment both days. Rob Trout and the Flounders will perform on Saturday with Wildfire taking the stage on Sunday. You will think you are back in time as Eric DeLauro does the very best Frank Sinatra on both days. Music is from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 4 to 5 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday.
And if that’s not enough, there is a car show, complete with prizes.
