Pilots can come early and fly their jets for a

whole week, if wanted. There is also a splen-

did fireworks show on Friday night where

foam airplanes are invited to fly through the

explosions to see if they survive. Many do not;

however, a few do survive with the cheering of

the crowd. The Monster Green Alien aeropla-

finally crashed to the ground. Videos and pho-

tographs are available from Jets Over

Kentucky onsite and online.

Many major vendors are on site including, Jet

Central, Fly Eagle Jets, Bob Violett Models,
