This was part of the set up for 2022. We had a corner set up for simulators. A lot of interested kids and adults were able to stop by and try out flying.

On this day, I changed the set up a bit so people stopping by could see the simulator screens better in the sun.

While working the airshow in 2019, I was able to meet The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows.

The Pacific Airshow first started in 2016. It has since became the largest airshow by attendance in the United States. It attracts millions of viewers every fall during its three-day weekend event. The weekend features display teams, boat races, on-sand entertainment, bars, music, autograph signings, and more.

I have worked this event every year since 2019. This event is one that I have fallen in love with. While it is one of Cypress College ATC's larger events that we participate in every year, it has taught me so much in event management. Every year, the plans for this event start before the Spring semester ends. As soon as the Fall semester begins, I have to start coordinating all aspects of the event, including: student volunteers, staff, outreach information, displays, possible activities, and specific details with the event staff. The goal for this event is to reach out to aviation enthusiasts, provide information on the college's aviation program, and invite them to sign up. Every year this event has been one of my most successful outreaches.
