2011 California Capital Airshow Set For September

Airshow To Celebrate 100 Years Of Naval Aviation

The California Capital Airshow (CCA), set for September 10-11 in Sacramento at Mather Airport, will honor several important anniversaries, according to the show's organizers. A highlight of the show will be a fighter jet demonstration by an F/A-18 Hornet and a legacy flight starring a Grumman F6F Hellcat to mark the 100th anniversary of Naval Aviation.

“Each year we strive to bring new and exciting performers, unique aircraft, and interactive displays to Sacramento, and this year will be an event that you will never forget!” said Darcy Brewer, executive director of the California Capital Airshow. “Tora!Tora!Tora! is making its first trip ever to Northern California and fans will not be disappointed. Tora is a choreographed, living history lesson with pyrotechnics and precision flying all set to music, but the show certainly doesn’t stop there. We will have something for everyone and every age – from exhilarating military jet demonstrations and aerobatics soaring overhead to a Kids Zone with interactive, educational exhibits – it’s going to be an incredible show that will leave you begging for more.”

Airshow fans will also experience the raw power and extreme capabilities of the F-15E Strike Eagle Demonstration Team, the electrifying Patriots Jet Team, aerobatic champion, Patty Wagstaff, and a USAF Heritage Flight. Rounding out the line-up will be the Shockwave Jet Truck, Otto the Helicopter, Dan Buchanan, local air show pilot, Tim Decker, more fighter jets, warbirds, vintage aircraft, and some of the largest transport jets on Earth.

Additionally, the 2011 show will pay homage to the tenth anniversary of 9/11 as well as hosting Pearl Harbor honorees and their families from across the western United States as a tribute to the 70th anniversary of December 7, 1941.

The CCA is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the importance of aviation for continued economic growth, inspiration and educational opportunities for today’s youth, and enhancing awareness for the service and sacrifice of our military men and women.
