I think he will enjoy it and if he has family,  Ponderosa  is also a  Zoo  with array of animals.

its a pretty good sized venue.

Easy to find too.

 

This takes place almost every year and has gotten 1940s "dress-up" theme and music etc..

This is the first time I have heard of them having two iconic aircrafts  doing a Flypast.

Should be a good day out.

Thank you.
