The airshow was delayed by the Orange County oil spill in 2021, and by the pandemic the year before. The show continues in Huntington Beach through Sunday.
Thousands of people settled in along the coast for the three-day event, which brings in over $105 million to the area, according to organizers. It also brings in some local aviation superstars, from Captain Dan "Thunder" Kats of Los Angeles and Maj. Ian "Bear" Lee of Cerritos, both flying Thunderbirds over their own backyards, quite literally.
Women pilots are also on the celebrity roster, including Maj. Lauren "Threat" Schlichting, who flies right wing position, as close as 18 inches to the next jet. There's also Michelle "Mace" Curran, the combat fighter pilot flew with the Thunderbirds from 2019 to 2021 solo, in the critical number 5 position.
As one of the first women to reach the heights of aviation mastery, Curran has quite the story to tell, especially to the many young girls at the show, for whom that dream is a reality, thanks to people like her.
