But this air show is not just about military prowess; it's a full-throttle festival designed for everyone. Families can enjoy interactive static displays, children's activities, food vendors, and more. The airshow is an excellent opportunity to create lasting memories, as it bridges the gap between the public and military service, allowing those who attend to engage with the members of the armed forces who keep our nation secure.

Holloman Air Force Base itself is an impressive venue—home to the world’s longest and fastest test track. Stretching nearly 10 miles and capable of reaching speeds close to Mach 9, the test facility underscores the importance of innovation in aviation technology. Visitors to the airshow will certainly feel the sense of pride that comes from standing on hallowed ground where history has unfolded and where future pilots are being trained.

As the 2026 Legacy of Liberty Airshow approaches, it is undoubtedly the perfect occasion to experience the marvels of aviation while honoring the sacrifices of those who have served.

From Godzilla to Star Wars: A Comic Book Journey Through the Pages of My Childhood

 Written By Ken Hulsey As most of you know, I am a certified comic book enthusiast. I have been collecting comic books as a hobby since the late 1970s and have been reading them since I was a child. Like many kids of my generation, I was drawn to titles featuring my favorite cartoon characters such as The Flintstones , Bugs Bunny , and Yogi Bear . My mother would buy them for me in packs at the Pick N Save, which helped me build quite a collection. While I often got some Richie Rich and Little Lulu comics that I didn't particularly care for, back then, you learned to take the good with the bad.

 Story By Ken Hulsey As a rational person, I can explain away most of the strange occurrences I experienced during my teenage years in Albuquerque. However, one incident still puzzles me to this day.

Overcoming Fear: How Tithing Transformed My Finances and Strengthened My Relationship with God

The Journey of Faith: Embracing Challenges and Growing in Spiritual Maturity Taking that first step into an act of faith can often feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to something like tithing. For many, the idea of giving away 10% of their income can stir up feelings of reluctance and fear. I was one of those individuals, apprehensive and uncertain about the process. Yet, it was precisely this struggle that led me to a deeper understanding of faith and dependence on God.

In this message, we explore the powerful story of Paul’s shipwreck in Acts 26–28 and his unexpected experience on the island of Malta, where survival turned into attack and pain transformed into purpose. Even though we know that Sunday came and Jesus conquered death, many of us still live as if it’s Friday—caught in confusion, pain, and unanswered questions. But what if your current struggle isn’t a setback but rather a divine assignment?

Just A Thought From Pastor Steve Smothermon: With All Your Heart

The Bible teaches us to trust in the Lord with all of our hearts, and lean not on our own understanding. Highest relationship: So, what does it mean to trust God, to trust someone else? Trust is the highest relationship with others. It means to have confidence in, to be secure, to feel safe. It means you believe what they tell you. Worldly trust: In our society, it is hard to fully trust anyone or anything. Marketers are trying to get us to trust in their products. Politicians are trying to get us to trust them enough to vote for them. Spouses want to be trusted. Biblical trust: The Bible teaches us not to trust in man. Why? People will disappoint you; they will let you down. But God will never disappoint or let you down. Jeremiah 17:5 — This is what the Lord says: “Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the Lord.” So, we are not to put our trust in people, but in God. Now we do trust people. We have to at ti...
