If you start noticing more planes landing at Crites Field at the Waukesha County Airport, there’s a good reason. Wings Over Waukesha is being held from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.

Aerobatic performers will be there to wow the crowds, including  Jim "Fang" Maroney Super Chipmunk aerobatics, John Mohr Stearman barnstorming aerobatics, Dave Dacy-Tony Kazian wingwalking, and Dr Bill Blank Super Decathlon aerobatics, according to a news release.

The Yankee Air Museum in Detroit will be bringing its fully-restored World War II era B-25 “Mitchell” bomber and the Minneapolis U.S. Air Force Reserve will bring in a C-130 transport plane to participate in the show and remain on display, a news release states.

Dozens of other contemporary and vintage aircraft will participate in the daily air show at 1 p.m. each day. The Sky Knights Sport Parachute Club from East Troy will kick off the daily shows with a team of skydivers landing on the airfield.
