New Century, KS – The roster for the 2022 Garmin KC Air Show is set with world class
performers and dozens of static displays and experiences. This Labor Day weekend join us for

military aircraft up close. These include, but are not limited to, the MV-22 Osprey, A-10
Thunderbolt, UH-60 Blackhawk, the CH-47 Chinook, AC-47 “Spooky”, and B-17 “Texas Raider”.
There are also experiences for the whole family including a virtual reality military mission
through the Air Force called “The Hangar”, STEM education activities for kids, monster truck rides, and the Top Gun experience, which includes the opportunity to sit in the cockpit of an F-18 for a keepsake photo.
