For the first time in America, the 2011 Wings Over Camarillo Air Show presents the Ultimate Air Racing Championship demonstration.
Seven Pilots from around the world race wing tip to wingtip around a closed pylon obstacle course. The pilots are some of the best precision stunt and demonstration pilots in the world and include multiple Aviation World Record Holders.
Featuring home built experimental airplanes flying a Slalom course, all jockeying for position at the same time, makes this edge of your seat excitement - like NASCAR with airplanes. Race Pilot Dave Riggs, who lead the American Team to victory in the 2010 China UARC races says, "This is Air Racing on steroids. It’s no longer the guy with the biggest engine who wins.

This year, the 474th Fighter Group Association (pilots who flew P-38’s in WW-II) will join regional volunteers to support the Wings Over Camarillo airshow. An expanded flight demonstration program features ever popular aerobatic routines; Chuck Aaron in his fully aerobatic (Red Bull) helicopter, John Collver flying his beautiful SNJ, Rob Harrison, “The Tumbling Bear” performing breath-taking maneuvers. Over 80 aircraft will fly including the Goodyear Blimp, vintage planes, and WWII fighters, bombers and transports. The Grand Finale plans a spectacular display of about 30 planes in formation flight over an amazed crowd.
Feature of the Camarillo Airshow is the accessibility of the planes, pilots and crews to the public. Walk among the planes, take photos and ask questions of the pilots and airshow volunteers.
