SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO.com) — Scores of people braved the heat for this weekend’s Sioux Falls Air Show at Joe Foss Field.  The Air Force Thunderbirds, NexGen Eagles and U.S. Para-Commandos wowed the crowds, in an event to celebrate America’s 250th birthday.  Air show officials say it also provided a great chance to learn about the F-16 planes frequently flown in the area and to talk to the people who fly and maintain them.
