Annual Hammerhead Roundup
Every spring, the skies above Borrego Springs erupt with loops, rolls, and dives as world-class pilots arrive for the Hammerhead Roundup, one of the most exciting aerobatic competitions in the country. But you don’t have to be a pilot to enjoy the action.
When and Where to Watch
Dates:
- Practice Flights: Thursday, April 10
- Competition Flights: Friday & Saturday, April 11–12
- Best Times to Watch: Mornings to late afternoon on both days
Location:
- Borrego Valley Airport (L08) – the aerobatic “box” is directly next to the 5,000-foot runway and visible from nearby viewing spots.
- Bring a hat, water, and a folding chair, and watch the show as pilots fly high over the desert floor in precision competitions that are part skill, part spectacle.
What You’ll See in the Sky
- Power and glider aerobatics in multiple skill categories
- The spectacular “Four Minute Free” program—a freestyle display with music and smoke
- Flights from early morning to sunset
Whether you're a first-timer or a returning fan, there's nothing quite like the sound and sight of competition aerobatics over the Anza-Borrego landscape.
