Eden Prairie, MN (June 10, 2015) - AirExpo 2015 will again be hosting a wonderful evening of Hero's and Legends with their 12th Annual "Evening with Eagles" hosted by radio personality Stan Turner.

This is a rare opportunity that allows the public to listen to the inspiring stories of America's true Aviation Heroes. They'll be sharing their personal experiences with those who take the time to listen. Come down to the Minneapolis Marriott Southwest on Opus Parkway to spend your Saturday evening listening to heartfelt stories and shake the hands of heroes afterwards.

No matter where you chose to sit, at least one of the VIP's will be seated with you. This year's VIPs scheduled to include aces from World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, the 8th Air Force crew members, and World War II Naval aviators. We have also invited members of the Red River Valley Fighter Pilots Association, River Rats, members of the Women's Air Force Service Pilots, WASPs, and prisoners of war from World War II and Vietnam.

Following the moderated symposium, there will be a special presentation by three Air Force pilots who flew in a squadron of Soviet MiG fighters that were kept in the Nevada desert in the late 1970's and early 1980's.  This operation was one of the most secret projects that the US military ever operated, rivaling the security surrounding the Manhattan Project that developed the atomic bomb.

Tickets for the "Evening with Eagles" dinner must be purchased in advance and only a limited number will be available through the show's website at www.airexpo-mn.org.
