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. Tickets go on sale Thursday for the beach event, which has been renamed the Pacific Airshow. The three-day experience is scheduled in Huntington Beach from Oct. 1 to 3.
