Organizers of the Newport Bucket Regatta are counting on the spectacular display of vintage aircraft to attract the local community to the waterfront in celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Bucket Regattas, held in Newport and St. Barth\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The ninth annual Newport Bucket Regatta, which will be held Saturday, August 27 and Sunday, August 28, will include a grand finale of legendary WWII airplanes buzzing the skies from 4:30 to 5:00 p.m. on both days.<\/p>\n

The Texas Flying Legends, who are making a debut in Newport, will feature six rare WWII vintage aircraft including Last Samurai, one of only two Japanese Zeros still flying in the world; the FG-1D Corsair Whistling Death; the P-40K Aleutian Tiger; two P-51D Mustangs Dakota Kid II and Little Horse; and the Mitchell B-25 Bomber Betty\u2019s Dream. A public viewing will be available at the Quonset Air Museum from noon to 7 p.m. both days of the Airshow and will include access to the planes and pilots along with a viewing of the launching (approximately 4 p.m.) and recovery (approximately 5 p.m.).<\/p>\n
