The Confederate Air Force's 2nd Annual Fleming Field Days, May 21 & 22, 1983, featured a USO dance and the opportunity to see a B-25 Mitchell bomber being completely restored. Music for the dance was "the big band sound of the 20 piece Roseville Jazz Ensemble." USO Dance with the Roseville Jazz Ensemble

Inside the hangar, however, there were no villains—only dancers, bagpipers, and, of course, the Roseville Big Band.
