DAYTON, Ohio --  -- Have you ever wondered what it would be like to fly an F-16 in an air show?

On July 17, National Museum of the U.S. Air Force visitors will be able to get first-hand accounts from F-16 Viper East Demonstration Team pilots Maj. George W. Clifford III, Capt. Aleksas R. Juskys and other members of their crew from 2 - 3 p.m. in the museum's Carney Auditorium.

The demonstration team, which is also scheduled to perform in the 2008 Dayton Air Show, will begin by showcasing their high-flying acrobatic talents in a short video presentation.

Following the video, F-16 Viper East commander and demo pilot, Maj. Clifford, will lead a discussion about the team, as well as take questions from the audience.

The team will also sign autographs, as time permits.

This presentation by the F-16 Viper East Demonstration Team is free and open to the public. No tickets are necessary, but seating is limited to the first 500 people.
