Annual Forgotten Coast Freedom Festival

The Annual Forgotten Coast Freedom Festival combines a car and motorcycle show with an air show at Apalachicola Regional Airport in Apalachicola, Fla., on Nov. 21. The event runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and spectators must have a ticket to attend.

Cars and motorcycles are welcome in the show, and owners can register vehicles for it.

The air show program includes military flybys, formation and single-ship aerobatics, static displays of military and civilian aircraft, and a Huey helicopter demonstration.

Friends of Army Aviation flies riders in a UH-1H Huey during the event. Flights last 8 to 10 minutes and carry 10 passengers at a time. Riders must be at least 2 years old and securely seat-belted in their own seats, and minors under 16 must ride with a parent or guardian. Helicopter tickets cost $95 per person and are sold on site by cash, credit or debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay or Cash App. Riders must buy tickets no fewer than two hours before the published end of the event. Discounted advance tickets are also sold.

Helicopter rides may end earlier than 4 p.m. if there is no interest from the community or because of weather.
