On Friday, September 22nd through Sunday, September 24th, the Miramar Airshow will bring us the most awesome aircraft in the sky, complete with air performances, ground tours and displays, craft beer and so much more.
Simply, it’s an event you and your family need to experience. Here are 7 reasons why:
1. Blue Angels
Let’s face it. Any air show that is lucky enough to host the legendary Blue Angels needs to have them listed as the #1 reason to be there! They’re a worldwide phenomenon and they just blow our minds.
This U.S. Navy crew of pilots is highly skilled, ridiculously precise, and (we mean this as respectfully as possible) slightly crazy. They are the definition badass. And we kind of want to be one.
See the Blue Angels take flight each day from 2:05 to 3:05 p.m…. it may just change your life.
You can thank us later.
2. Flight Performances
The Blue Angels won’t be the only ones in the air this weekend. Each day of the show will come complete with flight performances from tow planes, hang gliders, parachute teams and so much more. See the daily schedule for all flight performances, here.
3. Tours And Ground Shows
The ground is going to be just as exciting as the sky. Take a tour inside of the C-47 “Old Number 30,” check out a UH-60 Blackhawk, the F-18F Super Hornet and so much more.
