Comments:
The National Air Tour is presently estimated to arrive Willow Run Airport between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday September 24th. This is approximately 3-4 hours later than originally estimate due to severe thunderstorms along the route between Dayton, OH and Dearborn.
The National Air Tour will be based at the Yankee Air Museum, Willow Run Airport for it's departure on September 8th. The offical program will begin at 8:30 a.m. with departures beginning at 9:00 a.m. The event is FREE on Monday.
After departing from Willow Run Airport, the tour will fly around Ford World Headquarters as a salute to Edsel and Henry Ford and then "touch wheels" at Ford Airport (Detroit Proving Grounds) to begin the National Air Tour 2003.
The process will be repeated prior to landing at Willow Run upon our return (weather permitting) on September 24th. Arrivals on that day may extend over a period of approximately an hour and a forty-five minutes beginning with the approximate time shown.
