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 Patriots Jet Team four plane pass with red, white, and Blue smoke.
Home of the U. S. Air Force 9th Reconnaissance Wing, Beale Air Force Base operates the U-2 "Dragon Lady" and the RQ-4 Global Hawk. Beale AFB is located in Northern California, a few miles east of the town of Marysville.

The 2008 Fleet Week Airshow is edited to a 7 minute "Fast Blast Video" version with music. I also shot stills of all the action, so check those out in the Photo Gallery- http://www.kbvp.com/image/tid/609
