John Lowe, President of CWA, stated, “We are very excited once again to host our local airshow. This year, we will salute Test Pilots. These dedicated professionals have pushed the boundaries of space and flight, helping to shape the aviation industry of today. We will have several of these unique pilots speaking about their experiences in the STEM pavilion, and they will also be our Grand Marshals. Every year, CWA has donated back to local nonprofits volunteering at our airshow, and so far, we have exceeded $700,000. This year’s Wings Over Camarillo promises to be more exciting than ever, with several new acts and the return of the Red Bull helicopter. To help with the environment, we are asking our visitors to consider carpooling. Shuttle service will be available from each of the designated parking lots.
