It gets underway today and Sunday from 11 am until 4 pm, with gates opening at 9 am. Admission is free.
Kevin Coleman flies a small plane and is an exciting acrobatic pilot, rolling with smoke trailing from behind. He took us up Thursday on media rides. Coleman was flying close to his brother Wyche, who was piloting Kevin's 36 Bonanza two-seater, which had the door missing. That's so media could take pictures of Kevin doing stunts in the other plane.

Last year, the Defenders of Liberty Air Show brought in more than 215,000 folks.
