California Capital Airshow Announces Historic Gathering of P-38 Lightnings

Event to make aviation history, as there hasn’t been this many P-38s in one location in over 60 years

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – (August 31, 2010) The California Capital Airshow (CCA) (www.californiacapitalairshow.com) today announced that it will host every flying Lockheed P-38 Lightning remaining in the United States, as well as the pilots and ground crew who flew and cared for these rare aircraft on September 11 and 12, 2010.  Drawing the attention and attendance of WWII veterans and their families from all over the United States and of photographers from seven countries, this is truly a historic event.

“The CCA is truly honored and humbled to be hosting such a remarkable event in partnership with Lockheed Martin (www.lockheedmartin.com), the Reno National Championship Air Races (www.airrace.org), the P-38 National Association (www.p38assn.org) and the 475th Fighter Group Historical Foundation,” said Darcy Brewer, executive director of the California Capital Airshow.  “We have set out to create an outstanding occasion to showcase the airplane and pay tribute to the designers, manufacturers, maintainers, and the brave aviators who trusted their lives to the ‘Forked-Tailed Devil’.”

There has not been such a gathering of Lightnings in over 60 years, and because of the high operating costs of the aircraft, coupled with the dwindling numbers of men and women originally associated with the P-38, it is very likely that such an event will not happen again. 

P-38 pilots, F-35 Lightning II pilots, the Fork-Tail Devil’s organization and up-close and personal access to the P-38s, including ‘Glacier Girl’, ‘23 Skidoo’, ‘Thoughts of Midnight’, ‘Tangerine’, ‘Ruff Stuff’, and Allied Fighters No. 981.  Additionally, representatives and displays from Lockheed Martin, the company that designed and built the revolutionary P-38, will also be in attendance and available at the P-38 National Association pavilion.     

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the attention it will generate will help provide the means to continue to tell the story of this unique aircraft, while reinforcing its significance as one of the most innovative and important designs in the history of manned flight.

“Each one of these airplanes, and the men associated with them, has a story to tell, and our venture will provide the opportunity for those tales of valor, sacrifice, and heroism to be shared with young and old alike, to make their honor and courage tangible to this generation and those to come. As you well know, sadly, the numbers of these honorable men and women are dwindling at an alarming rate. With over 300 P-38 veterans from WWII planning on attending, this event will ensure that their memory will never be forgotten,” added Brewer.

To sponsor or provide financial support to help defray the costs associated with this opportunity, please contact CCA headquarters at (916) 876-7568.

The Airshow website will be updated regularly with news, attraction information and more.  Community members and attendees can also follow the Airshow on Facebook and Twitter (#calcapairshow). 
High resolution photos are available online at http://www.californiacapitalairshow.com/event-features/photo-gallery.  To request press credentials for the event go to http://www.californiacapitalairshow.com/about-cca/media-access#credentials.

“The Aviators” Announces Deal with Discovery Channel Ahead of World Broadcast Premiere This Saturday

After almost two years in the making, aviation enthusiasts, pilots, and everyone fascinated with the wonder of flight will finally have their chance to see the new and highly anticipated weekly magazine-style television series “The Aviators” broadcast for the first time.

The series, created by John Lovelace (former host of “Wings Over Canada”) and produced by FourPoints Television Productions, showcases the people, places, and planes of North American aviation and stars real-life aviators Sara Rependa, Kurtis Arnold, Jeff Lewis, and Anthony Nalli (also the show’s Executive Producer and narrator).

Episode one features segments on the Tiger Moth biplane, the U.S. Air Force's mammoth C5M, an interview with Miracle on the Hudson hero Jeff Skiles, a flat spin survivor, and AirVenture, one of the largest air shows in the world.

“The Aviators is designed to be both entertaining and educational” said Nalli, “It really is all-things-aviation: as we say, ‘For everyone who has ever gazed skywards’.”

Throughout the season The Aviators promises to take viewers behind the scenes to show how airline pilots train, how planes are built, and how air traffic control works. The show will feature interesting people, the latest aircraft, the coolest technology and the best fly-in destinations.

The Aviators will premiere on Canadian network television this Saturday morning at 11:30 and will also be broadcast in the United States on Public Broadcasting Stations starting as soon as next week in some markets (viewers should check with their local PBS stations).

The producers proudly announced today that the series has also been picked up by Discovery Channel Asia for broadcast in early 2011 and discussions are under way with networks in several other countries.

“We’re thrilled by the number of broadcasters eager to air the show,” continued Nalli. “There’s obviously a demand for intelligent, entertaining aviation television and broadcasters and viewers are excited that it’s finally here.”

Previews for The Aviators can be found at http://www.TheAviators.TV which is due to be revamped to coincide with the launch of The Aviators Digital Magazine.
