This year's Open House is officially titled "Legacy of Freedom: Honoring the Past, Protecting the Future," however, the title only offers a taste of what will be happen during the action-packed event. Aerial acts include the F-22A demonstration team with a Heritage Flight at 11:15 a.m. and 3:15 p.m., P-51D Mustang and flybys from the MQ-1 Predator, MQ-9 Reaper, T-38 Talon, F-16C Fighting Falcon, German Air Force Tornado, QF-4 Phantom II, P-40 Warhawk, P-2V Neptune, T-33 Training Star, AT-6 Texan and the B-17G Flying Fortress scheduled throughout the day.

Visitors will also receive a special treat as the 49th Wing's famed F-117A Nighthawk will be on static display. From 1992 to 2006, Holloman was the only home of the F-117. During its time at the base many of the aircraft took part in Operation Allied Force in 1999 and Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 striking key targets while demonstrating revolutionary stealth technology.

The website also includes information for newcomers to the base, news and photos from Holloman, Air Combat Command and the Air Force, links to the German air force Flying Training Center and much more.
