CWA President John Lowe stated, “We are thrilled to once again host our local air show. This year we will be honoring test pilots. These dedicated professionals have pushed the boundaries of space and flight, helping to shape today’s aviation industry. Several of these unique pilots will speak about their experiences in the STEM Pavilion and they will also be our Grand Marshals. Each year the CWA donates to local nonprofits that volunteer at our air show and to date we have donated over $700,000. This year’s Wings Over Camarillo promises to be more exciting than ever with several new acts and the return of the Red Bull helicopter. For environmental reasons, we ask that our visitors carpool. Shuttle service will be available from any of the designated parking areas. General admission tickets are also now on sale. For more information, visit our website WingsOverCamarillo.com.”
