SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Space is limited to purchase tickets for the 15th annual California Capital Airshow set to take over the skies Sept. 24-26 at Sacramento County’s Mather Airport. Event officials said all CDC, State and Local Public Health guidelines will be followed but at this time wearing a mask is not required at the event.
“We know how much the community loves the airshow, and wow, what a show we have planned this year – we can’t wait ‘til gates open!” Darcy Brewer, executive director of the California Capital Airshow, said in an online statement.
Expected to take to the skies this year include the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, the Royal Canadian Air Force Snowbirds and F-35 Lightning jet demonstration teams.
This year's airshow is also going to run and look a bit different than years past. Airshow officials added an extra day — Friday, to the agenda with the day being only for a drive‐in airshow.
