LOUISVILLE, Ky. —
Up, up and away! BowmanFest took off over the weekend, with two days of aviation entertainment.
Bowman Field first opened in 1920 and, since then, has gained a place amongst the ranks of the oldest operational commercial airports in the nation. The festival is just one of the many ways to get an up-close look at the historic landmark.
An aerobatic air show, a 5k on the runway, over 40 aircraft on display, and a vintage car show are just some of the events that took place at the event, offering a little something for everyone.
