Aerial Feats Dazzle Danville Balloon Boogie Crowd
At Danville Municipal Airport Sunday afternoon old Stearman bi planes and vintage warplanes wowed about 6000 spectators. Parachutists and a Marine wing walker provided high flying thrills while a DSA chased a Stearman in a playful mock duel. Winds delayed hot air balloons and Piedmont Airlines but the show moved on with bluegrass acts between aerial sequences.
