This event has been recommended by a number of Grand Photo members as a good Photo Op for them.
The Buckeye Air Fair will feature an airshow, vintage and military aircraft, action-packed demonstrations, an aviation exhibit hall and more. Airshow performances scheduled include a number of both bi-planes, and military warbirds, performing maneuvers, acrobatics, flybys and skywriting. A skydiving team is also on the schedule.

Saturday, February 15: 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. Airshow: Noon - 1:30 p.m. & 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
Sunday, February 16: 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Airshow: 1 - 3:30 p.m.
Tips:
- There were over 30,000 spectators in 2024. Get there early to avoid heavy traffic and access parking closer to the event.
- Seating opportunities may be limited.
- Expect walking on unpaved surfaces.
- A long lens works well for the airshow, but there are usually aircraft displayed on the ground as well.
Entry to the event is free, however there is a per vehicle parking fee.
