FARGO — If you’ve ever wanted to see one of North Dakota’s top elected officials jump out of a perfectly good airplane, the 2024 Fargo AirSho will be your chance. Lt. Gov.
Tammy Miller will help open the 2024 Fargo AirSho with a tandem parachute jump with Terry Peoples of Skydive Fargo. The jump will take place before the AirSho’s official kickoff at 11 a.m.
Saturday at Hector International Airport, Peoples said Friday, July 26. “Show up early if you’d like to see that,” he said. “She’s going skydiving with me tomorrow morning.
” A major plus for World War II-vintage aircraft fans, five of the roughly 150 still airworthy P-51 Mustangs will be at the show. The AirSho gates open at 9 a.m.
and the show officially starts at 11 a.m. Saturday and Sunday.
The headliners of the daylong event are the always popular Navy Blue Angels flying their powerful F/A-18 Super Hornets, though the Air Force will nab some prime time with the F-22 Raptor Demonstration Team — their first time in North Dakota. But there will be a lot of other aerial acts at the show and on the ground (the Ladies For Liberty singing trio, a Tom Cruise lookalike, static aircraft displays, and a STEM expo and robotics competition). Several performers met with members of the press Friday at the Fargo Air Museum.
Tim “Toby” McPherson is in charge of the Fargo Air Museum’s Warbird Review. The Page man, who restored and flies a P-51 Mustang he’s nicknamed “Boomer,” will be joined in the air .
