“Open houses and air shows give us an opportunity to share what your, ‘Hometown Air Force,’ does right here in southeast Michigan,” said Brig. Gen. Rolf E. Mammen, 127th Wing and Selfridge Air National Guard Base commander. “We will showcase Selfridge as a cornerstone of Michigan communities and look to enhance local partnerships in the process.”

In addition, there will be ground displays showcasing dozens of different military aircraft, including the 127th Wing’s own KC-135 Stratotanker and A-10 Thunderbolt and numerous military ground vehicles. Activities will be available for children of all ages, to include a Kids Zone with several bouncy houses, games and arts and crafts.  Food and drinks will be available for purchase, making this a great opportunity to spend a day out with the whole family. 

The gates to the base will open to the public at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, July 9 and 10.
