Get ready to spread your wings and take to the skies this weekend because the Wings Over Solano Air Show is back at Travis Air Force Base! Taking place on April 25th and 26th, this biennial event promises to be a high-flying spectacle filled with breathtaking aerial performances and family-friendly fun. It’s no wonder it’s one of Northern California’s most anticipated aviation events—who doesn’t love a good jet demonstration?
Headlining this year’s show are the famous Thunderbirds, ready to dazzle the audience with their precision flying and stunts. Capt. Ashlen Barry, the Air Show Director with the 60th Air Mobility Wing, mentioned that last time over 100,000 people attended, and they’re hoping to top that record this year. Expect crowds and excitement as families gather to witness these thrilling acts.
