The Blue Angels at Naval Base Ventura County in September of 2015.

The Navy's Blue Angels and the U.S. Air Force's Thunderbirds will perform at the 2023 Point Mugu Air Show.

It's going to be one of the biggest air show events on the West Coast in years, and it's set to take place in Ventura County.

The Point Mugu Air Show is returning for the first time since 2018. It was announced last year that the U.S. Navy's demonstration flight squadron, the Blue Angels, would headline the show. But, this week Naval Base Ventura County announced that the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds would also perform in the show.

It's only the third time in history both teams will perform at the same air show.

The event will also feature a number of aircraft in both flying, and ground displays. The 2023 show will take place March 18 and 19. Admission and parking are free, but upgraded VIP seating is available.
