In addition to the airplanes, classic cars and other spectator features will be on display.

Scenic airplane rides will be available on a first come, first served basis for $5 for those up to 18 years old and $10 for adults.

Music will be provided by the Calaveras community band; Mountain RC Flyers will feature radio controlled aircraft; breakfast and bratwurst will be provided by Harmony Ranch and Tri-Tip BBQ is provided by EAA chapter 484.
