"Flight Over the Falls," hosted by the 341st Missile Wing of Malmstrom Air Force Base and supported by the 120th Fighter Wing of the Montana Air National Guard, will be held July 30-31 at the Montana Air National Guard.

The free event will open to the public at 9:30 a.m. with the aerial demonstrations beginning at noon both days.

The Open House will feature displays of military aircraft and equipment, demonstrations by the U.S. Army Black Daggers Jump Team, A-10 Demonstration Team, Stallion 51, MiG Fury Fighters, Gary Rower with Buck Roetman solo and team performances, and musical performances by Theresa R. Eaman.

The highlight of the two-day event will be aerial performances by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels. All of these performances will be featured July 30 and 31.

A Blue Angels flight demostration exhibits choreographed refinements of skill possessed by all naval aviators. The Blue Angels' C-130, affectionately known at "Fat Albert," begins each demonstration by exhibiting its maximum performance capabilities during a 10-minute performance.

Also, the graceful aerobatic maneuvers of the four-jet Diamond Formation, in concert with the fast-paced, high-performance maneuvers of its two solo pilots will be seen. Finally, the team illustrates the pinnacle of precision flying, performing maneuvers locked as a unit in the renowned, six-jet Delta Formation.
