2009 Cable Air Show — Overview ( 1 of 5 )
11 January 2009 (Sunday Air Show)

Each year, as the big Crystal Ball on top of Times Square drops down to usher in the New Year, we in Southern California start looking forward to the start of the Air Show season. While the East Coast of the United States is still digging out from the snow, the January weather in Southern California is usually in the mid-70s with crisp and clear skies. With the snowcapped peaks of the San Gabriel Mountains serving as a Backdrop, the Cable Airport hosts their annual Cable Air Show. The 2009 Cable Air Show marked the 64th anniversary of the Cable Airport and the 34th Annual Cable Air Show. Located in Upland, California, the Cable Airport is the world's largest family-owned public-use airport. It is located about 40 miles east of Los Angeles. The 2010 Cable Air Show will be on January 9-10, 2010. Click on the icon to the left for details.
