This beautiful B-25 was seen in the 1970 film "Catch-22". The best part? Rides are also available in this aircraft. Visit here to purchase

This North  American TB-25N was built as a B-25 and has an interesting service history, hopping around from bases before sitting derelict. Thankfully, it was saved and is truly one of the best B-25s flying today! Check out the Tri-State Warbird Museum's TB-25N "Yankee Doodle" at this year's event!

The P-51D Mustang 'Ain't Misbehavin' will be making the trip up from Knoxville, Tennessee. The P-51 was an aircraft that helped turned the tide during World War II and proved to operate exceptionally in escort and air-to-air combat. This is a BEAUTIFUL P-51 Mustang that will lool (and sound) terrific in the skies over Peru!

Tim Gillian is bringing his T-6 back again this year. Huge shoutout to him because he’s also responsible for working out the flying portions of our event. He also serves as our main announcer. A trifecta of talents! He is a huge part of making this event happen year after year! Thanks, Tim.

The PT-26 was a primary trainer used during World War II. It was, essentially, one of the first trainers pilots in training would fly before moving on to the Basic or Advanced training aircraft. This particular PT-26 (N60535) was manufactured by Fleet Aircraft, Ltd., Fort Erie, Canada in December of 1944.  After the war it passed through various owners until the Indiana Wing took possession of the aircraft in 1981.  In 1986 the Cornell was removed from service for a total restoration, and in October of 1999 the PT-26 again took flight from the Mt. Comfort airport just east of Indianapolis where she had been undergoing restoration for the past 12 years.

This is an American basic trainer flown by most student pilots during World War II. It was the second phase of the three phase training program for pilots. After primary training, the student pilot moved to the more complex Vultee for basic flight training. The BT-13 had larger engine and was faster and heavier than the primary trainers. It required the student pilot to use two way radio and to operate landing flaps and a two-position variable pitch propeller.

The Huey Greyhound is a utility military helicopter powered by a single turboshaft engine, with two-bladed main and tail rotors. The UH-1 first saw service in combat operations during the Vietnam War, with around 7,000 helicopters deployed. The UH-1H model was produced more than any other Huey, with the U.S. Army alone receiving nearly 4,850 aircraft.
