Whether you are Howard Hughes or a grounded goon, the QuikTrip Air and Rocket Racing Show is an exciting location to be awestricken by adventurous aviators performing amazing aerials.
Reviews
Check out what KOTV and KRMG Radio have to say about the QuikTrip Air and Rocket Racing Show:
- The April show is the biggest event planned so far by The Tulsa Air and Space Museum. While the QuikTrip Air and Rocket Racing Show will feature more traditional air show acts, like wing walkers and acrobatics, the Rocket Racers are expected to attract people from all over. – Emory Bryan, KOTV
- A big attraction is added to this month's Air and Rocket Racing Show. Tulsa Air and Space Museum Executive Director Jim Bridenstine says they've been able to secure fly bys from a B-2 Stealth Bomber. Bridenstine says he's been told Highway 169 turned into a parking lot the last time a B-2 did touch and goes at Tulsa International Airport because people were pulling over to watch. – Paul Crockett, KRMG Radio
