Vintage war planes, experimental aircraft and other types of aircraft will be on display Saturday as Mesa holds its third annual Falcon Field Open House. Boeing, MD Helicopters and the Mesa Police Department will display aircraft, along with the airport fire truck. The Commemorative Air Force will display the history of the base training British Royal Air Force and U.S. Army Air Corps pilots for World War II, and some veterans who trained there will share their stories. The day includes cultural events, local business displays and a classic car show. Author and historian Daryl Mallet will host a booth where he will share 70 years of airport history. The free event is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Falcon Field, which is at the northeast corner of Greenfield and Higley Roads.
