Military aircraft will again be a no-show at Freedom Fair.

After a year-long grounding, military aircraft are returning to air shows this year.
Just not in Tacoma.
For a second consecutive year, the Freedom Fair air show on Tacoma’s waterfront will be an all-civilian affair. Despite attempts to secure military demonstrations, the city’s annual Fourth of July celebration will be bereft of active duty jet fighters, bombers and helicopters.
Even Tacoma’s unofficial bird, the Air Force’s C-17 Globemaster III, will be a no-show.
