This Sunday’s Oakland County International Airport Open House and Air Show promises to be a day filled with aviation fun! Head to the airport in Waterford between 10am – 4 pm and see vintage jets, championship aerobatic teams, individual performers, World War II aircraft, and a variety of military, commercial and civilian aircraft and vehicles on display.

General admission is free for attendees. There is a $5 parking fee per vehicle. If you’re interested in a living history flight experience, you can take to the sky in a helicopter or airplane.

• Airplane Rides: $25 per adult, $20 for kids under 12, and $55 for one adult and two kids (no minimum age, 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult)
• Open Cockpit Airplane Rides: $75 per person.
• Helicopter Rides: $35 per person

Take a look at our video for a preview of what you can expect.

Check out another cool video and feel like you’re along for the ride in the cockpit of a North American T-6 World War II advanced trainer. It’s one neat warbird and you can see it in person at the airshow.

New this year is Homewrecker, a jet semi performance by McCart Jet Motorsports, with an act that will blow the hats off air show spectators. Kids can enjoy a play area equipped with bounce houses and a rock wall. Bill Crell, “The NASA Guy,” will show off his latest experiments and demonstrations. Plus, there will be a health and safety fair from 10am – 2pm including the Michigan Child ID Program, which informs families about abduction prevention and provides fingerprinting for children.

Attendees may also tour the nation’s first LEED-Gold certified general aviation terminal. Open since 2011, the eco-friendly terminal features solar panels and wind turbines, solar hot water heater, and a geothermal field all designed to reduce energy consumption.
