The Luke Days air show was cut short by an hour and a half on Sunday as more than 400 people were treated for heat-related illness over the weekend.

Gen. Ajax Berkland from Luke Air Force Base says the vast majority of people treated were younger than 12, older than 60, or had preexisting medical conditions.

A press release from the base said that about 200,000 people attended between Saturday and Sunday.
