WCLO's Stan Stricker reports on additional Airfest act

Only days are left before the Southern Wisconsin Airfest, and an additional act is expected.

Airfest Director Julia Dacy says a last minute addition to the line-up is the Navy's "Legacy Flight". The "Legacy Flight" features a modern F-18 with a 1950's era T-2 Buckeye. Dacy says attracting the performance is quite something, because of how few the Navy sponsors. The surprises don't end there either according to Dacy. An unexpected team has signed up for the Southern Wisconsin Airfest "Aircraft Pull". That's where 20 people pull a 155,000 pound Boeing 727. The Canadian Forces Snowbirds will be putting together a team.

Airfest is set for the weekend of May 24th and 25th at the Souther Wisconsin Regional Airport.
