SPECIAL POST-AIRSHOW ANNOUNCEMENT:
An incident occurred at this year's Wings Over Gillespie airshow
in which two AD Skyraiders that were performing in the airshow disobeyed the rules
regarding the boundaries of the performance area and/or altitude restrictions.
The FAA is investigating the incident. Anyone who observed the incident on that
Sunday is requested to contact the FAA and let them know what they saw.
Air Group One has been dismayed at the
negative and false reports that have been published in the press and spread by
word of mouth regarding this incident. We wish to set the record straight, and
now have our position paper available for you on this website.

Air Group One is the San Diego Wing of the CAF. They are headquartered at their "Military Flying Museum" located on Gillespie Field at 1860 Joe Crosson Drive in El Cajon, California.
Members work together to share the history of this era, to bring a deeper understanding of the sacrifices men and women made to secure the freedoms we enjoy today. They also work to preserve, restore and maintain World War II era aircraft... to "Keep 'Em Flying."
Air Group One proudly presents its Wings Over Gillespie Air Show each year at Gillespie Field. Proceeds from the show benefit the museum.
