SoCal Airshow and Victorville Airport Tour
April 21, 2023 - April 23, 2023
Update 4/20: The event is full! Registrations are closed.
Join the FlyOutGroup on April 21-23 for a very special event! For the first time in FlyOutGroup history, FOG and SCFC pilots will venture to March Air Reserve Base in Southern California to attend the SoCal Air Show. March Air Reserve Base is hosting the SoCal Airshow, featuring the US Thunderbirds, aircraft like the C-17 and F-18, and numerous military aircraft on static displays. You’ll also have a chance to visit a local airline boneyard and get up-close with jumbo jets like the 747 and 757.
Before the airshow, FOG pilots will be able to fly into San Bernardino Airport (SBD) on Friday, April 21st, where we’ll spend the night in a hotel located nearby. The next day, we’ll spend all day at the airshow, where you can explore the exhibits, tour the flight line, and be amazed by the airshow in the skies above. The airshow does not require tickets to attend, and is open to the public.
On Sunday, April 23rd, FOG pilots may also have the optional opportunity to stop at Victorville Airport (VCV) on the return flight home. Victorville Airport is offering FOG pilots an exclusive tour of the aircraft storage and airliner maintenance facilities on the field. Not open to the public, this rare tour is being granted only to pilots attending this trip.
