BIRMINGHAM AL- One week to go... this year's Barber Vintage Festival is even bigger than ever before. New this year is Jerry Wood's Cyclemarket & Auction. The America's First Federal Credit Union Fan Zone is overflowing with all types of activities, vendors, clubs and more. We've added the Ace Cafe at the Ace Corner too! The Swap meet has over 250 vendors that can help you locate that last part needed or perhaps inspire you to start something new. There are Seminars in the museum and this is one of the few times when the Restoration Level is open to visitors. Look for special events for Museum Members. Get your festival tickets, Ace Corner tickets and Motorcycles by Moonlight tickets as they are all selling fast. Included in your General Admission ticket is the Aerostars formation air show.
Combining both precision formation and graceful aerobatics, there is never a moment the spectators are not totally captivated by the Aerostars thrilling demonstration. Performing in the Yak 52TW, a 400-hp Soviet Trainer, the Aerostars fly within a few feet of each other at speeds exceeding 250 mph. From graceful formation loops and barrel rolls to a break-away cross, bomb burst, and opposing passes, the Aerostars make formation aerobatics look effortless.
A unique design of the Yak 52 allows the Aerostars pilots to perform sustained inverted maneuvers not possible in most other aircraft. The deep roar of three 9-cylinder radial engines singing in harmony and billowing smoke will surely bring crowds to their feet.
Presented by Triumph Dealers of North America- October 12, 13, & 14, 2012. To Buy tickets and More Information see: http://www.barbervintagefestival.org/index.php
