There’s a certain relationship Kansans have with the sky. Amelia Earhart, Purvis & Wilson, and many more have dreamed of flying throughout their lives. However, many of us never get the chance to soar through the skies in anything other than a passenger plane. That’s why we think this Kansas attraction is the perfect bridge between dreams and reality. At the end of this summer, you’ll be treated to an amazing show set in our beautiful skies. Have you ever seen anything quite like this?

For a full list of the performers and more information about the event, check out their official website.
