It wouldn't be a CIAS without Sean D. Tucker! His famous Challenger II now sits in the Smithsonian, but he'll still thrill you with the "Bob Hoover Academy" T-6 October 29-31.

See how he continues to inspire a new generation of aviators here. https://bit.ly/3k6LzuJ

We have BIG news! Big news in the shape of a massive C-5, C-17, and C-130 on static display at the 40th Annual California International AirShow Oct. 30-31. Add two A-10s and two Super Hornets and the ramp is going to be full!

We'll have more statics to announce so check FB and IG later this week.

Lightning strikes twice October 30-31 at the California International Air Show!

We already have a ramp full of military statics and today we're thrilled to announce the P-38 Lightning will be joining the F-35A for a Heritage Flight. You'll also see warbirds like the North American T-6 Texan, several P-51 Mustangs, Beechcraft T-34 Mentor, and a Nakajima B5N Torpedo Bomber to name a few.

What are you most excited to see?

I'm guessing the Thunderbirds and both F-35 demos will be launching and recovering from Monterey Regional Airport (MRY)?

Are there publicly accessible areas to spot them from at MRY?
