Wings Over Wine
Country Air Show 2008
|
 |
Thanks to all our sponsors,
volunteers, performers and all who attended for helping make our
2007 "Wings Over Wine Country" Air Show the best one yet.
Our 2008 Air Show
will take place on August 16 & 17, 2008 so stay tuned to this
website for details as they become available.
Antique aircraft, warbirds, and
modern day aircraft will perform flybys and be parked on the
ramp for an up-close and personal look. One of the exciting
features of the Pacific Coast Air Museum's (PCAM) "Wings Over
Wine Country" Air Show is the opportunity to touch and feel the
awesome power and might of these historic machines which have
meant so much to our great nation's history.
Military flybys inspire you
with their precision and power and some will be on static
display when not in the air. Visitors will have a chance to
climb aboard a jet fighter
or walk through an open cargo/transport plane.
Vendors will display models, T-shirts, caps, books,
and crafts which will be available for purchase. And of course
there will be a wide variety of food and beverages to satisfy
your hunger and thirst.
The gates open at 9:00 a.m. for
pre-show activities, including a pancake breakfast just outside
the main entrance gate, static displays and radio-controlled
model aircraft demonstrations.
The main Air Show events kick off at 11:15 a.m. with the Opening
Ceremonies, followed by a CDF Aerial Firefighting Demonstration
and a demonstration by Sonoma County Airport's amazing brand new
and state-of-the-art fire truck.
A large number of
aircraft will be open for all to see. Visitors are encouraged to
walk through the Pacific Coast Air Museum's wonderful array of
restored aircraft, such as the
UH-1 Huey,
HU-16 Albatross, a rare
Russian
IL-14 Transport and
a whole lot more. Imagine yourself a Top Gun pilot while sitting
in the cockpit of an
F-16N Viper,
F-14 Tomcat or an
F-5E Tiger II, or checking
out Vietnam era birds such as the
F-4,
F-105 and
F-106.
These
were the Outstanding Performers at our 2007 Air Show. We'll
publish this year's performers soon, so stay tuned:
Other Aerial Performers
Included:
This year we will feature the
return of the popular
C-17 Globemaster III, the
Air Force's newest and most capable airlifter. This amazing
aircraft which "stole our show" last year, takes off and lands
in very short distances, flies around the traffic pattern like a
fighter, and can back up on the runway and into it's parking
area.
And jet fighter fans will really appreciate the power and
precision of the
U.S. Air Force's F-16 West Coast
Demonstration Team
as well as the
U.S Navy's very popular F-18 Aerial
Tactical Demonstration. The F-16 will be joined
by a P-51 Mustang and the F-18 will be joined by an F8F-2
Bearcat in the very popular, nostalgic and patriotic "Heritage
Flights".
Vietnam era aircraft fans will be amazed at the
A-1E Skyraider that will be
with us this year.
We’ll have lots of "Warbirds" static displays to see and a
tremendous "Warbird" flyby. Two of the “Warbirds” will be Santa
Rosa’s own
P-51 Mustang, “Lady Jo”
and
“Speedball Alice”.
We’ll also have several AT-6s,
a B-25 Mitchell, some
L-19s and a whole lot more.
This year's "Wings Over Wine Country" Air Show will truly be the
biggest and best yet.
