Air Show ‘Raptors’ Visit Soldiers’ Home Veterans

by: Karen Brown May 15, 2015

The Great New England Air Show is expected to bring half a million spectators to Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee, Massachusetts, this weekend. As the military squadrons prepared for their aerial acrobatics, one team of pilots and crew took a break to visit veterans at the Soldiers’ Home in Holyoke.

Correction: An original version of this story incorrectly placed Westover Air Reserve Base in Westfield.
