A little short of the usual Open House, but drive in registration must be done before the end of the month.

Same day as Miramar

No, I would not expect any military jets to fly, especally if they are opening the airspace to select civis.

But you never know, maybe a test mission needs to go out.

Possibilty of static display and some military planes flying, but sounds like a big "if".

"If available, we will have military aircraft on display, and there is a possibility of an military aerial demonstration."
