Choppers Star at American Heroes Air Show Saturday

Echo Park and Silver Lake residents will have rare to see helicopters at rest Saturday at Hansen Dam.

Ever wanted to get a close look at those choppers that keep you awake summer nights in Echo Park?

Well, Saturday affords you that chance. Treat yourself to an early July 4th trip: take the 2 to the 210 and the Hansen Dam Sports Complex.

Billing itself as the nation's "premier admission-free, helicopter-only aviation event," the American Heroes Air Show will feature "helicopters from local, county, state, private media and federal/DOD agencies."
