OKLAHOMA CITY - Celebrating
its 10th anniversary June 16-18, Okla-
homa City's Aerospace America Inter-
national Air Show has become one of
the largest shows in North America.
In addition to hosting the U.S.
Navy's Blue Angels Jet Demonstra-
tion Team, Aerospace America is pro-
ducing a celebration of the 50lh
anniversary of the end of World War II
with extremely rare American, Japan-
ese and German aircraft of the '30s
and '40s.
“I am so pleased that nearly one
hundred rare warbirds from both the
WW1 and WWII eras have accepted
our invitation to participle in Aero-
space America's spectacular celebra-
tion of the 50th anniversary of the end
of WWII," said Don Miller, Aero-
space America's warbird director.
“The sights and sounds of famous
aerial battles which changed the histo-
ry of the world will be recreated in the
skies over Oklahoma City's Will
Rogers Airport. I can’t imagine any-
one wanting to miss this tremendous
spectacle.”
Many of the warbirds that can be
seen at this year's show arc the last
flying examples in the world, like the
WWII German Luftwaffe’s Heinkcl
HE-! 11 bomber. The Hcinkel appear-
ing here was once the personal trans-
port of Spin's Generalissimo Franco.
Delivered to the German air forces
as a medium bomber in 1936, the HE-
111 was battle tested in Spain when
civil war broke out in July of that year.
Franco's nationalists presented an
opportunity for Germany to test its
men and equipment in actual combat.
So successful was the aircraft, needing
little Fighter protection or armament,
that it was assigned to the Battle of
Summer
Hot Spot
Britain in 1940.
Against the Royal Air Force, how-
ever, the HE-111 proved to be under-
armed and lacking performance in
both altitude and speed. Losses were
so high that the airplane was reas-
signed to night bombing missions
against London.
The Heinkel flew with the German
Air Force until the end of the war, tak-
ing part in what became known as “the
Blitz" when many prts of London
were destroyed.
The Heinkcl which will be at Aero-
space America has been a star of
motion pictures and TV in the films
The Battle of Britain and Piece of
Cake. It is pinted in the authentic
pint scheme used by the German
Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain.
Also appearing at the show this year
will be an equally rare German
Messerschmitt Bf-109, completely
restored, perhaps the most notorious
single-seat fighter aircraft of WWII.
First apparing in 1936, the Messer-
schmitt did not meet its equal until
1940 in the Battle of Britain when it
first went up against the superior
British Spitfire. By the end of its pro-
duction, more Bf-I09’s - a total of
about 33,000 - had been produced
than any other aircraft in history, civil
or military. The aircraft also is a veter-
an of the film The Battle of Britain.
Other rare German aircraft flying in
the Oklahoma City show will be the

AEROBATICS - The rare German Heinkel HE-111 will appear at the Aerospace America show in Okla-
homa City June 16-18.
Junkers JU-52, a three-engine trans-
port that Luftwaffe crews called Iron
Annie. This workhorse served as both
transport and bomber delivering sup-
plies. troops or bombs as required and
was essential in German's swift victo-
ries over Norway, Holland and Bel-
gium.
The Fieseler Fi 156 Storch, liaison
and communications aircraft, was
designed and built by Germany’s
famous acrobatic pilot Gerhard Fiesel
er. The unusual-looking aircraft fea-
tured high lift flaps and slots giving it
STOL - short take-off and land -
capabilities in the 1930s.

Okmulgee student competes for title
U Miss Oklahoma 1995
to be named Saturday
By LORKIE J. QU1NNELLY
Herald Staff Writer
TULSA - Teresa Biddle of Okmulgee didn’t grow
up singing on stage.
But tonight at the Miss Oklahoma Scholarship
Pageant on the campus of Oral Roberts University
she’ll sing her heart out.
Biddle, a 5-ft., 51/2-inch, hazel-eyed brunette
competing for the Miss Oklahoma title, said
Wednesday she’s having the time of her life at the
pageant, which began for contestants Sunday night.
“The interview's over; from here on out, it’s all
just fun,” she said in an interview during a break
from rehearsals.
Biddle competes as Miss Oklahoma City tonight.
A Miss America preliminary, the Miss Oklahoma
pageant continues tonight through Saturday night,
when the new Miss Oklahoma will be crowned. Bid-
dle will her talent presentation tonight.
Pre-show activities will begin at 7:15 in the
Mabee Center. The performance will follow at 8.
Tickets are available at the Mabee Center Box
Office.
Although tonight won’t be Biddle's first solo on
stage, she is a relative novice to vocal performance.
She was a high school junior before she ever sang
before an audience.
“I’d taken piano for years and played, but it was
my junior year in high school when I sang for the
first time,” she said. “I like singing so much better.
I’m better at it.”
Tonight the 21-year-old, a vocal music education
major at Southwestern Oklahoma State University,
will perform “O Mio Bambino Caro,” an Italian
opera piece by Giacomo Puccini.
It marks the second time Biddle has performed
the piece for Miss Oklahoma pageant judges. Last
year, when she represented Southwestern Oklahoma
State University in the pageant, Biddle performed
the same number and was one of six non-finalist tal-
ent winners.
“Miss Oklahoma pageant rules will allow you to
do the same piece two years, but only two," she said.
“My voice has improved so much since last year and
we’ve really changed it around to improve it.”
Biddle will switch from the hand-held micro-
phone she used last year to an ear-head set. Togeth-
er with her talent coach, she's choreographed the
number more, and she’ll wear a classic royal purple
gown for the performance.
“It really is like an entirely new piece from the
way I did it last year,” she said.
Biddle admitted, however, that she does not speak
Italian.
“I’ve taken diction classes, so I can pronounce the
words. But if I want to know what it means, 1 have
to go look it up,” she said.
Biddle, the daughter of Larry and Freida Biddle of
Okmulgee, is a 1991 graduate of Okmulgee High
School. She has three younger brothers - Brandon,
14, Richard, 12, and David, 11.
As Miss Oklahoma City, Biddle already has
begun work on a critical issue she wants to tackle -
adult involvement with young people.
She established GAIN - Getting Adults Involved
Now - which has been endorsed by both Oklahoma
City Mayor Ron Norick and Oklahoma Gov. Frank
Keating. As part of the campaign to bring young
people and adults together, she has taped public ser-
vice announcements for radio broadcast.
“The more you hear it, the more you think, ’Yeah,
I need to do something about it,’” she said.
While her talent performance is slated for tonight,
Biddle competed in evening gown Wednesday night
and will compete in the health and physical fitness
section, formerly the swimsuit division, of the
pageant Friday night.
To stay in shape for the pageant, Biddle said she
works out for an 60 to 75 minutes daily on a Stair-
master and with nautical equipment But she doesn't
go overboard.
“This is not a beauty pageant; it’s a scholarship
pageant," she said. “The judges are looking for a
physically fit persons. They're looking at how hard
you work, your muscle tone, how fit you are, your
health.”
Box office hours at the Mabee Center are 9 a.m.
to 4 p.m. The doors will open for performances at 7
p.m.
Mignon Merchant Ball, Miss Oklahoma 1986,
will host the show. Miss Oklahoma 1994 Tiffany
Craig also will be on hand.
Guest entertainers will include Lecsa Cornett
Shelton, Miss Oklahoma 1987, Alice King and the
Miss Oklahoma Dancers.
Saturday night only, special guests will include
Donna Auxum Whitworth, Miss America 1964, and
Jayne Ann Jayroe, Miss America 1967.
