Today is the Jacqueline Cochran Air Show in Thermal. Aircraft, aviators and skydivers will be performing or displayed on the ground and in the air. The show will also include the Air Force F-16 Viper West Coast Demo Team and the U.S. Navy F-18 Demo Team, along with 21 members of the U.S. Air Force Heritage Flight program and the Golden Stars Skydiving Team.
As the daughter of an Air Force Officer, I have always loved watching the air shows when we lived at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio and now the same thrills can be experienced at our local air show! The cost is FREE and is at the Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport at 56-850 Higgins Drive in Thermal from 9:45 AM to 3 PM today.

I love air shows too, though it's been awhile since I've been to one. Saw the Blue Angels several times in the 70s and 80s. Great stuff.
