Hollister, California is a real town that has been around since the 1870s. Unlike the fictional town created by a corporate clothing company, Hollister is no where near a beach. The town is about 45 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. Seagulls occasionally make their way over the mountains. Hopefully, they are able to find their way back.

2013 Hollister Airshow
Upside-down flying, loop-de-loop maneuvers, and other death-defying aerobatics will be taking place at the Hollister Airshow this coming Memorial Day Weekend. You gotta see it to believe it! And, when you do, it'll still be unbelievable.
The event runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 25, and Sunday, May 26. According to the schedule, the airshow starts at 11 a.m. and ends around 3:30 p.m. For details of the well-known performers, such as Vicky Benzing, Dr. D, and Eddie Andreini, check out this link.

Tickets are available at the Airport Manager's office at the Hollister Airport throughout the week, as well as at the gate on the Airshow Weekend. Adult tickets are $15, and children (6 through 12), $10. Children who are five and under get in for free. Parking is $5. Cash only.
Free shuttle bus service is available from the Parking Garage on Fourth and San Benito Streets in downtown Hollister. The shuttle leaves about every 30 minutes from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (Note: parking at the garage is free.) An on-demand shuttle service is also available at Frazier Lake Airpark.
For more information about the event, visit the Hollister Airshow Website. To check out the gallery of photographs of past events, as well as videos of the performers and other aerobatic pilots, check out the Hollister Air Show Facebook page.

A great post about a very important part of the community. We here where I live have an airshow in August.

Thanks, Yvonne. I think many of us, including myself, forget how important the airport is to our local economy. It's a small general aviation airport that's been here for many, many years.
DeleteWe quite often have spitfires and hurricanes flying over the village but when this Baby came over one day the hair on the back of my head stood on. It flew in at tree top level.
