DAVENPORT, Iowa - It's been three years since there's been a Quad City Air Show, but that all changes Saturday, June 29 and Sunday, June 30.
Air Boss Ken Hopper, who puts on the show, did not have a contract with the city of Davenport in years past, but that problem has since been resolved.
Gates open at 8 a.m. both days. The main show starts at noon and ends at 4 p.m. Gates close at 5 p.m. It all takes place at the Davenport Municipal Airport. The United States Navy Blue Angels will be there. For ticket information, click here.
