The Miramar Air Show is an annual air show in San Diego, California, held at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. The three-day event is the largest military air show in the United States, with total annual attendance estimated at 700,000.[1] In 2007, it was voted the "World's Best Military Air Show" by the International Council of Air Shows, the first time the award was given to a Marine Corps air station since 1994.[2]
The show's daily performance schedule includes military and civilian aircraft, usually highlighted by the Blue Angels, and is largely the same for all three days, with an extra "twilight show" on Saturday night only. Mornings are largely taken up by civilian performers. The Saturday twilight show includes military and civilian performers, a fireworks display, and the detonation of the "Great Wall of Fire" pyrotechnic display.[3]
The show includes a large selection of "static" (non-flying) displays representing aircraft from the U.S. Navy, U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, and the United States Marine Corps, as well as civilian and historic military aircraft. Numerous commercial vendors, United States Armed Forces recruiting displays, area law enforcement recruiters, civilian flight organizations and a business and franchise fair are also on site.
