Wausau Events will host their third Annual Wings Over Wausau Event on June 21 and 22, 2024 at the Wausau Airport.

The organization on Friday announced that the US Navy will be joining the US Army Golden Knights Parachute Team, along with multiple other aviation acts as part of the Wings Over Wausau Airshows each day.

The US Navy will be bringing MH-53E Sea Dragons to the event, known as the Navy’s dedicated AMCM platform, capable of mine hunting, mine sweeping, and mine neutralization. Additionally, as a heavy-lift helicopter, it is capable of rapidly transporting troops and equipment from ship to shore. There are currently 28 MH-53E aircrafts in operation.

“We are extremely excited to grow our military participation at this year’s event” said Alissandra Aderholdt, Executive Director for Wausau Events “We appreciate the service of all military men and women, and cannot wait to bring another aspect of that service to our small town.”
