Add article description

AirShow San Diego (formerly Wings over Gillespie) was an air show usually held during the first weekend of June at Gillespie Field in El Cajon, California. It was conducted by the San Diego wing (Air Group One) of the Commemorative Air Force.[1][2] It is a regular stop for many "warbirds" that make the airshow circuit each year, including the CAF's B-17 Flying Fortress Sentimental Journey. In recent years the air show has shown a larger number of flying demonstrations at what was at one time a mostly static air show.
