In preparation for the Wings Over Camarillo air show, which is slated for August 16th and 17th, the Department of Airports would like to inform the community of what to expect in the days leading up to the event, during the event, and at the closing of the event.
Aircraft will be arriving for the air show beginning Thursday afternoon (8/14), including two FA-18s, both of which are expected to arrive at approximately 4 p.m. on August 14th. It is important to note that the FA-18s will not be performing in the air show but will be on static display for visitors to see up close. Aircraft coming Friday (8/15) are expected to arrive between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Neighbors can expect an increase in air traffic and noise for the entirety of the airshow on Saturday, August 16th and Sunday, August 17th, primarily between 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. Some aircraft will depart the area on Sunday, August 17th between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. while other, larger aircraft, including the FA-18s, are expected to depart on Monday before noon.
The Department of Airports and the Camarillo Wings Association are working closely alongside Ventura County Animal Services to ensure that our neighbors are aware of expected noise impacts, including those on animals in the area. All pyrotechnics associated with the air show are ground based and will be conducted with animals at the shelter in mind.
