LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- You can help celebrate historic Bowman Field's rich aviation history.
WDRB’s Keith Kaiser learns about BowmanFest.
Historic Bowman Field is an aviation, architectural, and civic treasure.
Established in 1920, historic Bowman Field is one of the longest continuously operating commercial airports in the United States.
There are 17 buildings, with three on the National Register of historic places, including the art deco Administration Building, built in 1929 and designed by local architect William Arrasmith.
BowmanFest will feature rare vintage aircraft and warplanes from all over the United States, a four-mile run around the airport, military vehicles and equipment, military memorabilia, helicopters, a vintage car show, past war anniversary exhibits, and more.
Get up close and walk through a C130 military plane.
