MARCH AIR RESERVE BASE, CALIF. -- The Patriots Jet Demonstration Team returns to March Air Reserve Base's air show on May 19 and 20. The Patriots L-39s electrifies spectators with fast paced formation flying, choreographed four-ship diamond formation aerobatic maneuvers and their signature "Tail Slide" where the aircraft actually slides backwards toward the ground, something not performed by any other jet demonstration team.

AirFest 2012 is open to the public and admission and parking are free. The base is located in Riverside County.

Gates open at 8 a.m. and the first performance is at approximately 10 a.m. The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds will be the highlight of the March Air Reserve Base air show. This will be the teams only Southern California appearance.

AirFest 2012 will also feature performances by individual aerial acrobatics performers as well as military aircraft demonstration, historic aircraft performances and static aircraft displays.
