Attendees may take a ‘wing walk’ on the TBM Avenger “Doris Mae” to view the cockpit up close or check out the various other static aircraft and WWII vehicle displays.

In addition, the Rotary Club of Baileys Crossroads will have a 1966 Ford Mustang at the show for a raffle with one ticket costing $25 or five for $100. The drawing for the Mustang will take place on Nov. 11 at the American Legion Post 176 in Springfield.
