The Naval Air Facility El Centro Air Show 2012 will take place on Saturday, March 10, 2012. General admission and parking are free.
The objective of this event is to keep the public informed of our military services preparedness, demonstrate modern weapons systems, enhance community relations, and promote recruiting.
The Air Show features the Unites States Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels. NAF El Centro is the winter training home for the Blue Angels and their performance at El Centro occurs at the end of their training and marks the beginning of their show season.
In addition to the Blue Angels, there will be several other military flight demonstrations and civilian performances. There will also be a wide variety of field exhibits and hands-on displays will be available for the education and entertainment of air show attendees. Included among these are vintage as well as state-of-the air military static aircraft, historical displays and exhibits presented by military and aviation enthusiasts. |

Golden West Aviation Association

Description: |
Yuba County Airport (MYV) - The purpose of Golden West is to promote aviation education and safety by holding an annual Regional Fly-in. Golden West strives to present aviation at its best in a venue that provides a fun and educational outing for the entire family. Some of the activities you will find at the Golden West Regional Fly-In include:
A close up look at hundreds of aircraft including, homebuilts, antiques, aerobatic, ultralights, hot air balloons, racers, WWII warbirds and current military aircraft. If it flies it comes to Golden West. Only at a Fly-in can you get this close to this variety of aircraft. Talk to the owner/pilots, peek inside and maybe even take a ride!
See new aircraft from General Aviation, Kit and Sport Plane manufacturers.
For Kid’s there are hands-on workshops where they learn about the mechanics of flight, construction projects where they experience how airplanes are made, and for those kids 8-17, free Young Eagle rides where they live the dream of flight.
Exciting aerial demonstrations and low-level fly-bys each day.
An aerobatic airshow on Saturday with lots of smoke and noise and thrills. The latest from avionics manufacturers, in aviation software.
Buy aircraft accessories, tools and complete plans for airplanes.
Forums by aviation experts. Talk with authors and war heroes.
See the Eagles of Liberty fly on Sunday. A showcase of individually owned retired military aircraft.
Golden West Regional Fly-In is the youngest of the nine Regional Fly-ins. The first Golden West Fly-in was in 1998 at the former Castle Air Force Base near Merced, CA. In 2000 the event was relocated to the Sacramento Executive airport to provide access for more people. The final move to the new site at Yuba County Airport in Marysville provides access for a large number of people and plenty of space to accommodate all of the elements listed above. It also gives the Fly-in room to grow. |
