Wings Over Gillespie

Wings Over Gillespie is a primarily an airshow usually held the first weekend in May at Gillespie Field in El Cajon, California. It is conducted by the San Diego wing (Air Group One) of the Commemorative Air Force. It is a regular stop for many "warbirds" that make the airshow circuit each year, including the CAF's B-17 Flying Fortress "Sentimental Journey". Gillespie Field is also the home of the San Diego Air & Space Museum's (formerly known as the San Diego Aerospace Museum) Restoration Department and auxilery display of their extended collection of military airacraft and Atlas ICBM missile.In recent years the airshow has shown a significant increase in the number of flying demonstrations at what was at one time a mostly static air show.
