Camarillo Airshow with Teacher John Bury!




Teacher John from LSI Downtown shared his love for aviation and vintage aircraft by taking 6 students to the Camarillo Air Show last Saturday. 


Students were happy to see the aircraft up close and personal as well as see them make low passes over the airfield. 



One highlight was a mock air battle between an authentic Japanese Zero fighter and an American Hellcat fighter.


Students were also excited to see aerobatic flying from the Redbull helicopter and one of the top female aerobatic pilots in the world, Vicki Benzing, in her specially modified plane. 



There was also a skydiving demonstration with three paratroopers jumping from a vintage C-47, as well as a visit by the only helicopter/aircraft in the world, an MV-22 Osprey. 


After a nice dinner at a popular American restaurant, BJ’s, the students remarked that the air show was much better than they expected, and that they would like to go again next year.

Camarillo Air Show & Dinner at BJ's

 
 





On Saturday August 23rd, teacher John from LSI Downtown, led a group of students to the Camarillo Air Show, a local airport in Ventura County. We were able to see a flying show from many vintage aircraft, the Red Bull aerobatic helicopter, some great acrobatic flying from Vicky Benzing, and a re-enactment of a paratrooper jump from an actual C-47 that participated in Operation Overloard in France in 1944. There was also a classic car show and various vendors selling food and souvenirs. After an afternoon of walking around the airport, we enjoyed an American food dinner and drinks at BJ's in Woodland Hills in our own private room. Everyone had a great time!! @LSILA
