"23 years in the Air Force. Retired a full colonel, so this is in honor of him," Henry Ulrich said. He attended to honor his father, a World War II pilot. Ulrich said the show is about honoring those who have served bravely, just like his father.

"I come every year. I make it a point and I make it a point to shake a lot of hands of people," Ulrich added.

While American patriotism was obvious, the show draws the attention of military and aviation lovers from all over the world.
