Pacific Airshow ramp and Mendocino Coast : October 1, 4-5, 2021

October 1: Pacific Airshow

The Blue Angels, Thunderbirds, and Snowbirds on the ramp at Los Alamitos Army Airfield, the staging field for the Pacific Airshow. As far as I know, they've performed together only once before - at the Dayton Airshow in 2003 for the 100th anniversary of the Wright Brothers' flight. On one other occasion in 2018, all 21 aircraft briefly flew in a joint formation between airshows near Lake Erie.
