GOSHEN — Aviation enthusiasts celebrated the nation's birthday at the Goshen Freedom Fest Saturday at the Goshen Municipal Airport.

The skies were filled with high-flying stunts, from smoke writing to wing walking. There were also several vintage aircraft on the ground for people to get a good look.

Many of the pilots were on the ground to talk about the history of the plane and its role in past wars.

"What I like about this air show is that we have several different options, we have modern aircraft like the F-18 right off my shoulder, many older aircraft, we give back to the community," said Gary Treharne, the organizer. "It's more than just an air show; it's something for everyone."

The night will be capped off by a fireworks extravaganza at 10:15 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door for adults and $5 for kids. Veterans get in for free.
