‘Wings Over Wayne' will be highlighted by Thunderbirds airshow
GOLDSBORO, N.C. (WNCT) — The 'Wings Over Wayne' festival is happening this weekend at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro. This event is the largest airshow in North Carolina and only happens once every two years.
An estimated 200,000 people will be in attendance to watch the US Air Force 'Thunderbirds' perform, as well as food and many other activities. The airshow is always an impressive feat that takes many hours of practice.
'We fly twice a day, six times a week, and that's about how much it takes after four months just to get to a point where we can be certified to go out on the road,' Major Josh Burress said. 'during the show season, we're going to be constantly getting better and closer as the season goes on.'
