West Virginia’s Greatest Air Show will take place Saturday and Sunday at the Eastern West Virginia Regional Airport just south of Martinsburg.

A range of aerial displays, including aerobatics and military demonstrations are planned, along with interactive exhibits highlighting the history of aircraft at Shepherd Field. 

The event will feature performances by the Golden Knights U.S. Army Parachute Team and a precision aerial display by the United States Air Force F-22 Raptor Demonstration Team. 

Visitors will also have an opportunity to explore static displays featuring vintage and modern aircraft.

Due to expected traffic congestion during the event, traffic restrictions will be imposed along areas of US 11 with lane closures both days along Business Park Drive.

This year’s airshow marks a century since the opening of the Eastern West Virginia Regional Airport.

The event begins at 9:30 a.m. and runs through 5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 26 and Sunday, Aug. 27.
