The skytypers create giant messages in the sky by flying in a tight formation.

The air show will be one of the country’s first airshows since many were canceled due to COVID-19.

This year is the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II, and the GEICO Skytypers vintage airplanes trained the “greatest generation” of pilots for WWII, organizers said.
