Millington, TN, USA — 2005/10 & 2007/09
Millington Municipal Airport is located near Memphis, TN, 270 miles northwest of Birmingham via Hwy-78, future I-22. Although the Navy is stationed, the airport is mainly for small private aircraft. The airshow was held for two days. The admission was $20 per adult at the gate, and $15 ($18 in 2007) for advance purchase. The U.S. Navy Blue Angels and Canadian Force Snowbirds demonstrated their flight performance both in 2005 and 2007.
The P-51 was developed during the World War II, and is one of the best warbirds. The laminar wing greatly reduced drag. The engine is relatively quiet. A P-51 often fly during Heritage Flights.
