Admission, parking and the kids’ zone are free to the public. Riverside County is not a stranger to air shows, holding one per year at either the Jacqueline Cochran Airport in Thermal or the Hemet-Ryan Airport in Hemet, since 2005. This will be the first air show held at Riverside County’s French Valley Airport.

Live performers at the event will include aerobatic stunt pilot Kent Pietsch and his Jelly Belly Plane, performing a thrilling routine from 6,000 feet and attempting a rooftop landing on a moving recreation vehicle. Bill Braack and his Smoke-n-Thunder Jet Car will roar with excitement as 20-foot flames and billowing smoke exit the race car when he pulls over 4 G’s and 400 MPH to try and overtake a racing plane above.
