In order to commemorate the 70th anniversary of “D-Day”, also known as the invasion of Normandy, the Air Show San Diego has returned again this year. The event is happy to announce that Air Group One, a group that performs a fantastic and exciting air show, will be performing a show for all to enjoy. The group will perform on Saturday June 7-8 and gates open at 9 a.m. on both days. Come out to learn a little about WWII history, have some fun, and see the exciting air plane show! When staying in San Diego, everyone is encouraged to attend this awe-inspiring show!
At the start of the day, there will be an aircraft static display where you can look at all the amazing historical planes. There will also be education displays to learn about the history of the aircrafts. Starting the show will be fan-favorite, “D-Day Doll”, a C-53 that has been a part of history since it was involved in three missions during the invasion of Normandy. Another highlight of the air show is John Collver’s War Dog T6/SNJ. “War Dog” is king at aerobatics and never fails to awe the audience with his dips, turns, and spirals!
After the fantastic air show that even includes war re-enactments, stay for a fun concert that includes dancing underneath the stars! On Saturday, there will be music from 3 p.m. -7 p.m., with music spanning decades such as the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. At 4:30 p.m., there will even be a fun dance contest!
