The 2023 Pacific Airshow, taking place from September 29 to October 1, promises its most impressive lineup to date. This seven-year-strong event, drawing in a staggering 3 million live spectators, will unfold over three thrilling days in Huntington Beach. With over five hours of captivating aerial displays each day, the event will showcase an array of aircraft pushing the boundaries of speed and skill.
The headline acts include the illustrious U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, the awe-inspiring F-22 Raptor Demonstration Team, and the precision of the Canadian Forces Snowbirds. Joining them in the spotlight is F-15 combat pilot Tom "Lark" Larkin and the 122d Fighter Squadron's F-15s from the Louisiana Air National Guard. Adding international flair, we have the Red Bull Air Race World Champion, Matt Hall, teaming up with Australian aerobatic pilot Emma McDonald for her debut in the United States, performing in their remarkable MX and Extra 300 aircraft.
