The established Hot Summer Nights cruise-in returns Aug. 13 as does a regional aerobatics competition at the Bellefontaine Regional Airport.
But the Ferrari Club of America is planning a driving tour into Logan County and Bellefontaine, while the REO Club of America will have its annual meeting here.
Service-Safety James Holycross said the aerobatics competition is not an airshow, but it is at a public venue with areas for the public to watch the precision flying.
For the most part, the pilots use specialized planes to fly specific routines judged from below.
The competition will run June 17 and 18 with June 19 as a rain date.
June 18 also marks the start of the FCA’s International Meet in Columbus.
