Warbirds returning to New Phila
NEW PHILADELPHIA (WJER) (Sept. 6, 2024) – Historic planes from all over the country will be flying into Harry Clever Field on Saturday morning.
Mayor Joel Day says the city’s aviation heritage is being celebrated again as the members of T-34 Association bring their Warbirds back to town [for lunch and a public viewing from 11 until noon.] (They’ll then depart, doing runway fly-bys as they leave].
“According to event organizer Don Whittingham, the aircraft will start appearing over the skies of downtown New Philadelphia at 10:30 am, then land at the airport at 11 am. The pilots will have lunch and welcome the public to view their historic Air Force training aircraft. Then around noon, the T-34 pilots will depart, doing runway fly-bys as they leave.”
Day’s latest mayor’s report on the city’s Facebook page includes a link to learn more about the association and its mission.
“This is the same group that visited Harry Clever Field last year.
The visit follows the local EAA Chapter’s Wings and Wheels Fly-in and pancake breakfast fundraiser at the airport last Sunday.
