Help Keep the TBM Reunion & Salute to Veterans Airshow Free

We’re excited to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the TBM Reunion and Salute to Veterans Airshow on May 16-17 in Peru, Illinois! What started as a tribute to one of WWII’s most iconic aircraft—the TBM Avenger—has now grown into one of the Top 10 Airshows in the Midwest, drawing aviation fans, veterans, and families from across the country.

This year’s show promises to be the biggest and best yet!

We are on track to break a historic record with 20 TBMs expected to attend and fly together—the most since WWII!

The Titan Aerobatic Team will return to thrill crowds with their stunning performances, including their unforgettable Friday Night Show.

For the first time ever, the USAF Viper Demo Team will be joining us to showcase the incredible capabilities of the F-16 fighter jet.

Don’t miss the awe-inspiring USAF Heritage Flight—pairing the legendary P-51 Mustang with the cutting-edge F-16 in a breathtaking formation flight.

Enjoy plane rides, tours, great food, drinks, and a dazzling fireworks display Friday night!

Here’s the catch—this incredible, family-friendly event is completely FREE to the public.

But with great success comes great cost. Despite the generous support of the City of Peru and other sponsors, we’re facing a funding shortfall. To keep this event free and accessible to everyone, we need your help.

Your donation will go directly toward:

Fueling the aircraft (some burn up to 75 gallons/hour!)

Feeding our volunteer crews and pilots

Covering essential logistics and support costs

Every dollar makes a difference. No one involved gets paid—this event is run by passionate volunteers and dedicated veterans who give their time freely to honor our history and inspire the next generation.

Help us keep this amazing tradition alive.

Please consider donating today and sharing this campaign with others who love aviation, history, and community. With your support, we can ensure this year’s show soars higher than ever—without charging a single penny to those who attend.

Thank you for supporting veterans, aviation history, and one of the best family events in the Midwest!
