See WWII Aircraft Up Close At Open Hangar Day

The great thing about living so close to air bases in Oklahoma is you get a chance to see all kinds of cool airplanes! But if you live in southwest Oklahoma, you're in a special spot because you're not only near two U.S. Air Force Bases, but also a historic WWII hanger, located in Frederick, Oklahoma.

The WWII hanger in Frederick is a historic hanger from that time period. It has since been remodeled and houses the international WWII Airborne Demonstration Team. The team hosts its parachute school and flies its planes all around the world. But every year, the team makes sure to have a special event in its hometown of Frederick.

The 2025 Open Hanger Day is scheduled for Saturday, October 18.

This year's annual Open Hanger Day is set for Saturday, October 18.

Open Hanger Day will take place from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. If the weather allows, attendees will get to witness a WWII-style parachute jump from the WWII Airborne Demonstration Team.

The day will also feature an up-close look at the team's iconic WWII C-47 "Boogie Baby," along with other displays. Other activities include guided tours of the original WWII hanger, hands-on interactions with WWII gear, vehicle displays and more.
