The California Capital Airshow 2009 features the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds as the headliner with the weekends show including numerous military and civilian performances. Noteworthy bonuses this year are the F-22 Raptor, B-2 Spirit, and a second jet team, the Patriots. The amount of static displays spread across the ramp is enough to keep aviation enthusiasts walking around for the entire day!

The 45th Annual Watsonville Antique Fly-In and Airshow is one of my favorite small shows in California. The Memorial Day event brings out die-hard vintage aircraft enthusiasts that will savor each beautifully restored antique aircraft. This year, the major attraction was the Boeing 40C- Boeing's first passenger plane.
