Aviation enthusiasts and novices alike will enjoy watching S-2s, T-34’s, Pitts and RC Flyers take to the skies during the event, which takes place on both May 31 and June 1 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
CalFire will fly its aerial attack planes and demonstrate fire-fighting from the air, pilots will fly their T-34 trainers in formation and aerobats such as Jaquie Warda and Dr. D will show their prowess.
