Really disappointed the Snowbirds are headed here instead of Edwards. I don't think I can pass up Edwards in the 75th anniversary year.

Who’s ready for @redbullairforce to come to Santa Maria

There is nothing more cheerful than Jason Somes flying his @highalphaairshows red Mig-17 with those @sandersaeronautics smokes! Makes sure to catch him October 15-16, 2022!

West Coast C-17 Demo Team (McChord AFB, PACAF is from Elmendorf), C-130 Demo (this is probably the Cal Fire Air Guard or the Air Guard out of Reno), E-2 Hawkeye Demo Team, and the finest 144th (Cal Air Guard) with their F-15. https://planesoffame.org/events/airfest22

Edwards love to have low comms, not the typical air base that just throws stuff out there automatically, best guess, around August or September another announcement will be made, only for you first-to hear inside airshow nerds.

I just only wanna test out my Tamron 150-600mm at show. E-2 Hawkeye seems pretty cool.

C-17 Globemaster III Demo removed from the performers list.

Santa Maria will have all three variants of the F-35 Lightning II at this year's show.

Don’t know your ABC’s? Maybe these F35s can help. We have appearances from an F35A, F35B, and F35C scheduled at our show this year, and we couldn’t be more excited to see them all in one place. Let us know what your favorite F35 variant is in the comments!

The Snowbirds won't be coming to Santa Maria.

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.
