Our History:

First presented in 1993 at the Santa Monica Airport, the American Heroes Air Show has grown to become the nation’s premier, helicopter–only, admission-free aviation event designed to educate the public, media and community officials about rotary-wing aviation’s diverse capabilities in law enforcement, public safety, communications, Search & Rescue as well as homeland security and national defense.

Additional event elements include the CODE3 Career Expo featuring recruiting teams from law enforcement, public service and the military. Private vendors, public service organizations, the media and local elected officials team up to highlight the finest public safety resources in the community!
