Louisville, KY, - -Historic Bowman Field is an aviation, architectural, and civic treasure.
To celebrate and promote this wonderful community resource, Bowman Field presents the 3rd Annual Bowman Field Aviation & Military Heritage Festival. Once again, this event will feature rare vintage aircraft and warplanes from all over the United States, a 4-mile run around the airport presented by Independent Pilot Association (IPA) benefiting Reach for Kids., military vehicles and equipment, military memorabilia, past war anniversary exhibits and more.
Bowman Field, established in 1920, has the distinction of being one of the longest continuously operating commercial airport in the United States. Bowman Field is situated on 426 acres adjacent to Seneca Park with three buildings on the National Register of historic places, including the art deco Administration Building built in 1929/1936 designed by local architect William Arrasmith.
The Bowman Field Aviation & Military Heritage Festival will be held in the area around the historic Administration Building and the 1929 Curtiss Flying Service Hangar, current home of Central American Airways. There will be more than 30 aircraft on display, vintage airplane rides (C-45, B-25 and the Ford Tri Motor), vintage cars, motorcycles, military vehicles, community exhibitors and historical re-enactors. Bring the family to see Aviation and Military Heritage come alive in this unique setting. The goal of the festival is to see history come to life, as well as to experience the vibrant world of aviation, and to honor our veterans.
