This year's "AirShow San Diego" formerly known as Wings Over Gillespie will feature are a representative collection of Aircraft and Acts to support the commemoration of the 70th Anniversary of the Normandy Invasion: PBY Catalina, PB4Y-2 Privateer, Ryan STM, Ryan PT-22, Ryan L-17 Navion, Vultee BT-13 will also be present.

Numerous aircraft, Navy SEALs will be on ground display in addition to military re-enactors, paratroopers, and a mock battle with "Pyro." Flying and mock battle performance days will be weekend of June, 7th & 8th. Gates open 9 am to 4 pm, at Gillespie Field in El Cajon.
Friday, June 6th, is a FREE youth Education Day with a focus on Aviation related Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. This "A-STEM" day is presented by Air Group One. There will be no scheduled air show flying on Education Day.
Air Group One will commemorate San Diego's contribution to aviation in WWII and its part in the "Arsenal of Democracy" that transformed San Diego. Audiences will be able to learn, through the memories of veterans, from military re-enactors and displays and flybys of aircraft what it was like when San Diego was home to massive aircraft industries and thousands of aerial warriors training to protect freedom, liberty and our great nation.
AirShow San Diego is a once-a-year family event with a FREE Kid's Zone and FREE PARKING. Amusements, rides, education displays, a variety of food and beverages, plus a Beer Garden that will add up to a great summer weekend for all. With the SR-52 extension that connects to SR-67, Gillespie Field is now more accessible than ever.
I just noticed on the Air Group 1 website that you can buy a "Photographer's Ticket" for $50. It says Sunrise to Sunset and Hot ramp access....hmmmm. I want to know if you could stay for night time shots...
Here's some more info on the Photographers Pass.

Yeah I think we should be getting an email from Air Group One, CAF with the hold harmless release form and hopefully more info about the photographer pass. The orange safety vest will NOT be provided, you have to bring your own. If you have anymore questions you can send a Flickr mail to airplaneguy38 (https://www.flickr.com/people/35392015@N04/) on Flickr. That's who I got my information from.
:)Thank you!
:) Home Depot has orange safety vests for a little under $20
see you guys there
starting to process my photos

Yes, the reflection is from the pyro during the mock battle.
