Scheduled again at the Hansen Dam Sports Complex in the Lake View Terrace area of the San Fernando Valley, this unique community event is part of the nation's premier admission-free, helicopter-only aviation event featuring helicopters from local, county, state, private media and Federal / DOD agencies.

I've always wondered why they don't hold this a little earlier in the year. It's always blazing hot and smoggy at this event.

American Heroes Air Show-Photographers Pit: It has come to my attention that some photographers are demanding certain things for this show like water, shade, and porta-pottie. Now I think that all the photogs I know are fine and ok with how things are. But some others are demanding these things. First of all, this is a privilege that the show organizers set up this area for us that meets the requirements of the FAA and helps us not shoot into the sun as much as possible. We have all been to air shows and we can all bring our own water. A lot of us have been on photocalls to El Centro, Fallon, China Lake, etc, hot places and have survived without a toilet and shade for more than 2 hrs. These demands of a few are truthfully very close on ending the photo pit for the rest of us. Please pass the word around that is could be it for us unless we have those few stop making these demands. I have tagged people in this only to get the word out. And I DO NOT know or have heard who is making these requests. Come on and help me save this for us or we'll be back to shooting into the sun again and none of us want that. Don't let the few ruin it for all. PLEASE SHARE!!!
