Fred Johnsen, the force behind the Airailimages YouTube channel and General Aviation News Of Wings & Things columnist, recently posted a video to YouTube of some of the action at the 2025 Planes of Fame Santa Maria Central Coast Airfest.
“Fighters and bombers abound at the classic Planes of Fame Air Museum air show at Santa Maria, California, Oct. 17-19, 2025,” Fred explains. “This is in-depth coverage with special access on Friday, Oct. 17, as warbirds arrive, fly a practice show, and give a twilight afterburner event with a MiG-17 for distinguished guests. Enjoy!”
He advises you’ll see several models of P-51 Mustangs, P-47 Thunderbolts, P-38s, P-40s, B-25s, a rare P-63, and more, in the 25-minute video.
