California Capital Airshow Announces 2013 Headliner, Show Dates
The eighth annual California Capital Airshow will be roaring across the skies of Sacramento, October 5-6, 2013. The Show will feature performances including the show's just-announced headliner, the Royal Canadian Air Force Jet Demonstration Team, known as the Snowbirds, along with thrilling military demonstrations, world-class aerobatics, wingsuit flyers, barnstorming, wing walking, and endless entertainment and displays along the ramp. Show organizers say that many of the acts booked for the 2013 show will be performing in Sacramento for the first time.
“Sacramento is in for a rare treat this year. The Snowbirds fly a nine ship formation and fans will be captivated with the graceful yet heart-pounding aerial demonstration,” said Darcy Brewer, executive director of the California Capital Airshow. “Serving as Canadian ambassadors, the Snowbirds demonstrate the high level of professionalism, teamwork, excellence, discipline and dedication inherent in the women and men of the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Canadian Forces. Since they are an international jet team, their travels to the US can be limited – you won’t want to miss this performance. They may not be back for years.”
The Snowbirds’ pilots and aircraft technicians spend the winter months at their home base in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada, acquiring and practicing the skills necessary to perform in very demanding positions.
CCA says discount tickets are available for purchase online through December 29th. Organizers say the airshow web site will be updated regularly with news, attraction information and more.
