Over 20 vintage aircraft from the U.S. and overseas, many of which have flown combat missions, perform an air show over the water while "buzzing" the hundreds of boats below. Before the sun sets and the fireworks begin, the Oklahoma Air National Guard's F-16 Fighters set the evening sky ablaze as they pass over the thousands awaiting the sonic boom that begins the nearly one hundred thousand dollar burst of fireworks.
