California International Airshow Salinas

The 41st Annual Airshow will be held Oct 8-9, 2022 at Salinas Airport, highlighted by the Canadian Forces Snowbirds Military Jet Team and the United States Air Force F-35 A Lightning II.

The 431 Air Demonstration Squadron, Canadian Forces Snowbirds fly nine (9) CT114 Tutor jet aircraft in formation.  As Canadian ambassadors, the members of the 431 Air Demonstration Squadron, the Canadian Forces Snowbirds are committed to inspiring the public by demonstrating the skill, professionalism, and teamwork of the aviators of the Canadian Armed Forces to audiences across North America.

The United States Air Force F-35 A Lightning II will showcase the very best in Air Force Aviation with the latest Air Force Fighter Jet.

Karen Curtis, President of the California International Airshow said that “hosting the Canadian Snowbirds for the first time in eleven years continues to make our local Air Show truly International, and one of the best civilian air shows in the United States.  In addition, the Air Force Single ship demonstration by the F35 A Fighter Jet will thrill air show fans from the Central Coast.”

The California International Airshow is an all-volunteer, non- profit organization that has raised over $8.5 million for local charities since its inception in 1981.

The California International Airshow will also host our 42nd Air Show on Oct 7-8, 2023, featuring the United States Air Force Thunderbirds.
