Naval Air Station Point Mugu played host to a wide variety of Air Force combat airplanes at the 2007 airshow over the weekend of March 30 - April 1. The headline performer of the show was the Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor. The weather was clear, warm and nearly windless. Humid conditions near the coast resulted in spectacular clouds forming in the low pressure above the wings of the performing airplanes.
