California Capital Airshow

Everything is amazing but the music is wayyyy too loud, my head was about to explode at the end of the day, also stop bringing the propelled planes!!! We come to see modern fighter jets!!!

The California Capital Air Show at Mather Air Field was an incredible display of aerial acrobatics and fighter jet power. Thanks to VIP tickets from my wife's company, a proud sponsor, we were able to have a top-notch experience at this packed event. The afternoon was filled with jaw-dropping performances by some of the most talented pilots around. They maneuvered massive planes in ways that seemed to defy physics.
The show featured the USAF Thunderbirds, whose stunning formation flying exemplified teamwork and precision. There were gravity-defying stunts by aerobatic champions in their brightly colored prop planes. The fan-favorite demo team had the crowd on their feet with amazing almost vertical climbs.
Despite the long walk from parking, the event was smoothly run. Witnessing these feats help contextualize the importance of skilled pilots.
With world-class entertainment and perfect weather, the California Capital Air Show was a patriotic, family-friendly event that celebrated aviation. My wife and I felt honored to attend thanks to our VIP experience. We appreciated the chance to witness incredible flying firsthand and gain new appreciation for the pilots who push the limits in the sky. It was an unbelievable air show that won't soon be forgotten!

Normally I would give it 5 stars but this year was not one of the best years. They had the typical displays that you can go inside of. The disappointment was the air show. They didn't have any of the special teams flying today (Sunday) and it ended an hr early. Infant one of the planes that was part of the static display got taxied out while the show was still happening. I would be more upset if we had to pay for our tickets. Hopefully next year is better. The one nice thing was we did get to sit under a wing this year, the shade was a very welcomed thing.

Super fun event for little and big fans of aviation!
You can enjoy wonderful flights by the military jets, you can buy food (not on the drive in day), you can enter multiple huge transport, hospital, or even firefighter and police planes
There are attractions like fight simulators, or possibility to sit in a cockpit of the F-15
The military is also drafting, so if you are looking for a career - they are there waiting for you
Remember to bring something to protect your ears (there are spots where they sell some ear protections, but it may be quite expensive, s hint here - buying from the army is always the cheapest option)

Parking is included in the price of a ticket Depending on a ticket price you'll park very close or far away from the entrance, and inside may have an option to sit in a little better spot with less people and some seating included
On the drive in you just stay by your car, like in the cinema!

Awesome sauce! From the static ground displays to the aerial acrobatics, including the Blue Angels, this airshow is something not to be missed!
