Gathering of Warbirds - May 25

Airplanes dating back to World War II and the Korean War filled the air over Waukesha and on the ground at the Waukesha County Airport.  

The Gathering of Warbirds is a family-friendly event featuring historic and modern military aircraft, aircraft tours and rides, and education activities for all ages. It was aimed at anyone who enjoys seeing historic and modern military aircraft and fighter jets fly throughout the day. The event was enjoyed by more than 4,000 attendees and nearly 200 free hats were given to veterans in attendance. Community groups such as Stars and Stripes Honor Flight, the USO, and Dry Hootch, also connected with veterans.
