Vendor and Sponsor Information
What is “Warbirds and Classics Over the Midwest?”
Warbirds and Classics over the Midwest is an annual, three-day event running Thursday to Saturday with open flying on Sunday (Aug 14th - 17th in 2025). The event is limited to giant scale warbirds, giant scale models of aircraft produced pre-1960, as well as any size TURBINE jet with military markings. We believe the key to a successful annual event is to focus on the pilots and make it fun for them. They and their aircraft are what make the event possible.
