The 29th annual Wings, Wheels & Keels (WW&K) will be held from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 27, at Hummel Field airport off Grey’s Point Road, Topping, Va.
This event will feature more than 100 antique, classic and exotic cars and vehicles, numerous aircraft and more than a dozen boats.
WW&K usually attracts a number of vintage “war birds,” military aircraft that are privately owned. Antique, ultralight and experimental aircraft will be flying in for the day. All will be available for an up-close inspection.
Vehicles expected for the show include street rods, customs, exotics, vintage race cars and restored vehicles. Cars and trucks from just about every era will be on display.
Boats could include classic wooden boats to high performance enclosed, cockpit drag racing hydrofoils. Deltaville Maritime Museum’s replica of The Explorer, which John Smith used to explore Chesapeake Bay in 1608, will be on display.
- No Limits Skydiving of West Point will put on an exhibition at 11 a.m. A skydiver will parachute in flying the American flag.
- There will be a free children’s carnival with unlimited rides.
- Food will be available for purchase, and craft vendors and educational information booths will abound.
Free admission
There is no admission fee; however, a parking donation is appreciated. Parking proceeds will benefit the Hartfield Volunteer Fire Department.
WW&K is sponsored by Middlesex County and the Virginia Department of Aviation.
