Narrative:

On this particular day, dayton, oh was having an air show. We taxied to runway 24R and were cleared for takeoff. On takeoff, tower advised there would be opposite direction aircraft light transport's in formation on runway 6R that would remain clear of our runway. As we neared rotation, I noticed that 1 of the aircraft had wandered toward our runway. The tower noticed this also and as we rotated advised us to 'break' right. I made a low altitude turn out of traffic in order to avoid the conflict. The moral of the story -- exercise extra 'heads up' when around air shows or you may become 1 of the major events.
