This airshow is in its 13th year and features the USAF Thunderbirds and a lot more. It is located just East of Sacramento and right off of Highway 50 so it&#8217;s not much further from the Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, CA and they put on a spectacular event. A great Air Show.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oaklandmofo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thunderbirds-california-airshow.jpg\" alt=\"usaf thunderbirds f-16s\" width=\"675\" height=\"158\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oaklandmofo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thunderbirds-california-airshow.jpg 675w, https:\/\/oaklandmofo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thunderbirds-california-airshow-150x35.jpg 150w, https:\/\/oaklandmofo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thunderbirds-california-airshow-320x75.jpg 320w, https:\/\/oaklandmofo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/thunderbirds-california-airshow-600x140.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><br \/>\nPhoto by me, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/oaklandmofo\/\">follow on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>SF Bay Area Air Shows<\/h2>\n<p>Also don&#8217;t forget the Blue Angels at <a href=\"https:\/\/oaklandmofo.com\/blog\/fleet-week-san-francisco-information\" title=\"fleet week sf\">San Francisco Fleet Week<\/a>.<br \/>\nThe Blue Angels are the Navy&#8217;s performance team and they fly in F-18 Hornets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Travis Canceled After Plane Crash<\/strong><br \/>\nThere was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.military.com\/video\/military-aircraft-operations\/aviation-accidents\/fatal-travis-air-show-crash-2014\/3542664413001\" title=\"air show crash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">crash and a death<\/a> during the 2014 show.
