The Camarillo Airshow cancelled Sunday's show because of the weather event.

The Wings Over Camarillo Airshow was forced to cancel the second day of the show on Sunday, because of Storm Hilary.

Saturday went ahead with with a packed schedule of airborne entertainment.

"It'll be very loud this weekend...it'll be a good time," Lieutenant Wes Perkins said on Friday. He is the pilot of the F-18 Super Hornet in the airshow, putting on a tactical demonstration of the aircraft's capabilities.

Perkins said that safety is the number one concern when it comes to making decisions about the weather impacting the airshow.

"We are watching the weather to see the safety aspect of it. If we can still operate within our weather minimums we'll still fly on Sunday if the airshow decides to keep going," said Perkins.

The Sunday segment was confirmed as postponed on Saturday night as Storm Hilary approached Southern California.

John Lowe, President of the Camarillo Wings Association, said, “Due to the unprecedented weather forecast for our area and the safety of our volunteers, performers, and the public, we have had to make the tough decision to postpone the Sunday segment of our airshow.

"This decision was not made lightly, as we know that this will disappoint many of our returning patrons. We want to make it right for those who still have tickets for Sunday, and we are in the process of figuring out how we can make it worth their while to hang on to their ticket and return next year. We will be following up with them in a few days."
