SACRAMENTO, Calif. – April 25, 2013 - The California Capital Airshow (CCA) today announced a robust and varied performer’s roster and will host five plus hours of thrills, chills and jaw-dropping excitement. The Show, October 5-6, 2013, at Mather Airport, will feature spine-tingling performances including headliner, the Royal Canadian Air Force Jet Demonstration Team, known as the Snowbirds, thrilling demonstrations, world-class aerobatics, wingsuit flyers, barnstorming, wing walking, World War II aircraft and endless entertainment and displays along the ramp.
Nearly all of this high-flying action hasn’t been seen in the Sacramento region…ever! Such acts including the Snowbirds, The Horsemen, flying three F-86 Sabre Jets, five time national aerobatic champion, Kirby Chambliss, the Red Bull Air Force wing suit flyers, Franklin’s Flying Circus Dracula and the Rise of Vacul, Greg Shelton and Ashley Battles barnstorming and wing walking act, and the Indy Boys.

Once inside the Airshow gates, the young and the young-at-heart can come alive with imagination and possibilities. A day at the Airshow could literally change a young persons’ view of their education and inspire them to look beyond the horizon and know that they too can be a part of history in their own way.”
