MATHER, CA (MPG) - The 18th annual California Capital Airshow, presented by Sacramento County in partnership with the City of Rancho Cordova, runs from 3:30 to 9:30 p.m. July 13 and 14 at Mather Airport in Sacramento.

The two-day event will feature an extraordinary lineup of performers, including the Italian jet team, Frecce Tricolori, and the United States Air Force Thunderbirds, plus miles of ground attractions and the return of nighttime aerial performances concluding with a massive pyro-musical fireworks and 500-drone show.

The Airshow is part of Frecce Tricolori’s first North American tour in more than 30 years and is the only location in the Western United States where spectators can witness its full performance. Frecce Tricolori consists of 10 high-flying Aermacchi MB-339 aircraft, making it the Guinness World Record holder of the most jet aircraft in a military aerobatic display team.

Aerial performances will run 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. both days and will begin with the United States Air Force Thunderbirds, followed by Frecce Tricolori, U.S. Navy F-18 Super Hornet, U.S. Air Force F-35 Lightning and C-17 Globemaster demo teams, and an impressive roster of highly-skilled civilian performers.

Tickets are still available for purchase at CaliforniaCapitalAirshow.com and will not be sold at the gate. Adult General Admission tickets start at $42.50 and each ticket includes free admission for up to six youth (ages 15 and under) and free parking. A variety of upgraded tickets and experiences are also available for purchase.
