Weather and maintenance permitting, the CAF SoCal Wing will conclude the event with a flight demonstration of their F6F Hellcat.Mark your calendars to commemorate this historic battle, explore the legacy of the F6F Hellcat, and learn about the incredible exploits of David McCampbell, the highest-scoring naval ace of WWII.
