If you didn't make it to Seymour Johnson Air Force Base Saturday, there is still a chance to experience all the thrills Wings Over Wayne has to offer.
Gates open this morning at 9 and each of the acts who performed for tens of thousands yesterday will be on hand for an encore.
Food, drinks, sunscreen and keepsakes are all available for purchase and a special air show edition of Seymour Johnson's newspaper, The Wright Times, is being handed out free of charge.
The first performance, courtesy of the Army Golden Knights parachute team, starts at 10 a.m. and the final act to take the skies will be the Navy Blue Angels, set for a 3 p.m. take-off.
