The Ventura County Department of Airports is proud to again partner with the Camarillo Wings Association for the 2024 Wings Over Camarillo Air Show. This year’s event, which is slated for August 17th and 18th, will provide visitors with the opportunity to experience all things aviation including multiple aerobatic performances, a mini jet show, sail plane, E-2 Hawkeye, Dawn Patrol, a B-25, Japanese Zero, and the C-53 D-Day Doll (which isn’t just named for, but was actually used in, the 1944 landing on the shores of France), STEM pavilion, car show, community vendors, and more.

In preparation for the air show, 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.
We understand the FA-18 practices and performances affected many of our neighbors and local animals last year. We heard our neighbors and their concerns and while we have ensured that the FA-18s will not be performing in this year’s air show, there may be two FA-18s on static display. Neighbors can expect to hear their arrival on Thursday, August 15th.
Most other aircraft will arrive on Friday, August 16th between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and in the morning on Saturday, August 17th. Neighbors can expect an increase in air traffic for the entirety of the airshow on Saturday, August 17th and Sunday, August 18th, primarily between 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. Most aircraft will depart the area on Sunday, August 18th at 5 p.m.
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.
