Huntington Beach resident Kevin Elliott said the typical planning cycle for an airshow is two to three years.
When the Great Pacific Airshow was canceled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, it was a step back. But Elliott, who puts on the show with his production team at Code Four, promises the most packed lineup in the show’s history for 2021.
