Dozens of spectacular aircraft will fly the Cleveland sky Labor Day weekend during the 2008 Cleveland National Air Show. And NASA will be there for the action. In celebration of the agency's 50th anniversary, NASA Glenn's presence at the air show will be bigger and better than ever.

Meet Astronauts.
Astronauts from Ohio will appear at the air show on Saturday to sign autographs.

Learn about the Space Program.
Visit NASA's tents throughout the weekend to see models of the Orion spacecraft that will carry astronauts back to the moon and the Ares I rocket that will launch Orion on its missions. Glenn staff will answer questions and talk about Cleveland's role in building this next-generation of manned spacecraft.

You'll also see space shuttle and International Space Station models and exhibits.
