Description
Civilians wander around a hangar filled with presentations for Armed Forces Day. C130 and F4 aircraft lift off as civilians watch. A fire breaks out on the runway and several fire trucks extinguish it. Two CH46 helicopters land nearby. Four A4 Skyhawks, A6 Intruders, and F4 Phantoms fly past the crowd. The C130 lands and several paratroopers float down to the tarmac.
