Performances Scheduled For October 1-2
The California Capital Airshow, presented by Sacramento County in partnership with the City of Rancho Cordova, has announced its official 2016 show dates and headlining act, U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels. The Show, scheduled for October 1-2, 2016 at Mather Airport will announce ticket availability in the coming months.
“We are ecstatic to host the Blue Angels,” said Darcy Brewer, executive director of the California Capital Airshow. “It’s been nearly a decade since the team has graced the skies of the state capital and we are beyond excited to showcase them as they celebrate their 70th anniversary.”
The mission of the Blue Angels is to showcase the pride and professionalism of the United States Navy and Marine Corps by inspiring a culture of excellence and service to the Country through flight demonstrations and community outreach. In 2016, the Blue Angels will celebrate their 70th anniversary; performing since 1946, the team has thrilled and inspired more than 484 million spectators.
“The fans have been clamoring for the team’s return for years and we can’t wait to share the news. We’re planning to host our biggest show yet and are looking forward to another epic event,” added Brewer.
In addition to the unparalleled precision of the Blue Angels, the 2016 Airshow will feature top military and civilian performers including jet demonstrations, high-energy aerobatics, rare warbirds, bombers, and pyrotechnics. On the ground, attendees will be able to explore aircraft displays, interact with pilots and crewmembers, and experience attractions and educational exhibits designed to promote science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
