Eyes on the Skies The Great State of Maine Air Show will swoop into Brunswick Airport on August 26-27, starring a daring display of talent by the US Navy Blue Angels in their the supersonic Hornet jet planes. Also defying gravity will be the Marine Corps’s C-130 Hercules airlifter, the Blue Angel’s support craft, known as “Fat Albert.” “Fat Albert has been out of commission for most of the year, so the display in Maine will be one of few chances to see this surprisingly nimble four-turbo- prop plane fly,” says Herb Gillen, the event’s market- ing director. Specially trained performers will also demonstrate their exceeding ability while flying rare and historical aircrafts overhead. There will be numerous vendors as well as a Kid’s Play Zone to ensure the whole family is entertained. The show is held biannually, so be sure to check it out while you can.
