This year’s annual Miramar Air Show was bigger than ever (last year’s was a bit COVID limited). Running from September 22nd to the 24th, the nation’s largest military air show returned to provide a unique, immersive experiences. Static displays and daytime shows featured military demonstration teams, civilian aerobatic teams, aerial solo acts, vintage aircraft and warbirds. Visitors were treated to the feeling of flight in one of many simulators at the Innovation Tech Expo. The show offered friends and family some truly unforgettable memories. Visitors could get up close and personal to experience what our Joint Forces are capable of. The Marine Air Ground Task Force demonstration showcased aircraft, explosions, and demonstrated Marines performing an assault on a crowd line. America’s Air Show, presented by the United States Marine Corps, also showcased the US Navy Blue Angels, the US Air Force’s F-16, the F-35B Joint Strike Fighter, and Osprey demos.
This year’s MCAS Air Show drew capacity crowds.
