The show features more than 100 military and civilian aircraft on static display.
The particular aircraft on hand changes each year depending on availability.
Most aircraft can be toured by visitors, with active-duty service personnel on hand to answer questions.
The displays are informally grouped into areas representing:
Air Force transport planes and bombers such as the C-5 Galaxy, C-17 Globemaster, KC-135 Stratotanker and C-130 Hercules, and B-52 Stratofortress, as well as fighter aircraft such as the F-16 Falcon, F-15 Eagle and F-22 Raptor, and other support and training aircraft;
"Squadron Row," an area of booths staffed by units based at Miramar and Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, as well as other Marine Corps bases, to meet the public and sell merchandise to support squadron activities, and to display squadron aircraft including fixed-wing (F/A-18 Hornet and AV-8B Harriers) and rotor-wing (AH-1 Cobra, MV-22 Osprey, and CH-53 Sea Stallion) vehicles;
The MAGTF area with rotor-wing and tilt-rotor aircraft representing units based at Miramar and nearby Camp Pendleton, and infantry units from Pendleton and other installations demonstrating M1 Abrams tanks, LAV-25 Light Armored Vehicles, support vehicles, artillery systems and infantry weapons;
a "War Birds" area representing WWII-era aircraft, aircraft from the Korean War and Vietnam War era, and aircraft from foreign countries;
Recruiting and informational displays by most branches of the U.S. armed forces, area law enforcement agencies, the Border Patrol, the Civil Air Patrol, and other civilian organizations.
