Salinas is officially back on for 2022.
The Board of Directors of the California International Airshow is excited to announce the Canadian Forces Snowbirds Military Jet Team and the USAF F-35 A Lightning II will both be flying our 41st Annual Airshow Oct 8-9, 2022 at the Salinas Airport.

Karen Curtis, President of the California International Airshow said that “hosting the Canadian Snowbirds for the first time in eleven years continues to make our local Air Show truly International, and one of the best civilian air shows in the United States. In addition, the Air Force Single ship demonstration by the F35 A Fighter Jet will thrill air show fans from the Central Coast.”

The California International Airshow is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that has raised more than $8.5 million for local charities since its inception in 1981.

The California International Airshow will also host our 42nd Air Show on Oct 7-8, 2023, featuring the United States Air Force Thunderbirds.

Tickets will be on sale in June and additional performers will be announced here and on our website www.salinasairshow.com.

The Board of Directors of the California International Airshow are excited to announce a new
addition to our Airshow Oct 8-9, 2022.

For the first time at Salinas… The Red Bull Air Force Team! The Red Bull Air Force Team is
“world renown” for their high energy, extreme aerobatics, led by Kirby Chambliss flying the
Red Bull Extra 300 who is a “world champion” aerobatic performer and air race pilot.

In addition, the air show act that defies gravity… The Red Bull Helicopter flown by Stan Gray
that actually fly’s upside down! You will be amazed to see this unique performance.

And finally, rounding out the Red Bull Air Force Team are the World’s most elite Skydive
team… The Red Bull Skydive Jumpers specialize in highly coordinated aerial jump
demonstrations and continually push the limits of human flight.

The Canadian Forces Snowbirds have announced that their 2022 air demonstration season is
officially canceled, and they will not be performing at the three air shows in California this
October. This includes the Pacific Airshow in Huntington Beach, the California International
Airshow in Salinas, and the Central Coast Air Fest in Santa Maria.

Snowbird Public Affairs Officer, Capt. Gabriel Ferris expressed the team’s disappointment in this
decision. “The air demonstration season is being canceled due to an incident that one of the
Snowbird CT-114 tutor aircraft experienced in British Columbia in August,” said Capt. Ferris.
The Directorate of Flight Safety (DFS) investigation into the incident is on-going by a team of
experts. A risk analysis for the CT-114 Tutor Fleet will be detailed and thorough to assure the
fleet will return to safe flying operations.

Harry Wardwell, Executive Director of the California International Airshow expressed his
disappointment on this announcement from Canada. “On behalf of our Board of Directors,
volunteers, and air show fans from the Central Coast we will miss hosting the Canadian
Snowbirds at our 41 st annual California International Airshow on October 8-9, 2022. We have
been fortunate to host the Canadian Forces Snowbirds 7 times over our 40-year history and
they are always a crowd favorite. We wish the Snowbirds all the best and look forward to
hosting them in the future.” Our 41 st annual show will showcase the USAF F-35 A Fighter Jet,
some of the best civilian air show performers from North America, ground acts like the
Aftershock Jet Fire Truck, Monster Trucks, and the incredible “Wall of Fire.” There also will be
dozens of displays and exhibits that will make this air show a great educational and entertaining
experience for families to enjoy.
