Flying high at Dominguez Rancho
One hundred years ago, the International Air Meet at Dominguez brought together the most famous flyers for 10 days for altitude, speed, and endurance competitions, entertaining more than 200,000 people. Dominguez Rancho Adobe Museum will hold the Centennial Aviation Day on June 12 to commemorate this air show, which may have launched the aerospace industry in California. Vintage cars and airplanes will be on display and tethered balloon rides will be offered.

Thanks for blogging about the Dominguez Rancho's Aviation Day. :)
I cannot wait for June 12th either. The museum is expecting over a thousand people!
Over a thousand people! That's cool! I wonder if there'll be info on some of Long Beach's famous flyers like Earl Daugherty and Cal Rodgers.
Hi Vivian,
On Aviation Day, we will have Aviation books with information about the Long Beach flyers, but we will not have information posted about them.
