Surf City Airshow Being Held This Weekend

The Breitling Jet Team is wrapping up its U.S. Tour with a performance at the Huntington Beach Airshow in Huntington Beach, CA this weekend.

The team kicked off the tour in April in Melbourne, FL, and has performed across the country throughout the summer. Breitling is also the title sponsor of the show.

The Breitling team will share top billing at the show with the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. Other acts will also perform over the Pacific Ocean throughout each day of the free-to-the-public show.

The show will be visible along the coastline from Brookhurst Street to the Huntington Beach Pier. Viewing is free, but a VIP admission area will be available at show center. Airshow hours are 12 pm to 4 pm on Saturday and Sunday, October 22-23. Rehearsal will be on Friday, October 21. Tickets are available for all three days. Ticketed areas will be open from 10 am - 5 pm on all three days.

The team performs internationally each year at a host of VIP engagements, sporting events and airshows. To maintain their high standard at every show, the team operates full-time during the year. The display ends with a dazzling pyrotechnic finale, using a system of thermal flares to light the sky, according to the team's media information.
