Positive Altitude

A day at the airport that changes what kids think is possible.

Saturday, May 30, 2026  |  Mather Airport, Sacramento

Positive Altitude is the California Capital Airshow’s annual aviation and STEM immersion event for youth in our region. For one day at Mather Airport, kids step into cockpits, meet pilots and aircrew, work through hands-on STEM challenges, and see firsthand that aviation careers are within reach.

The day is part of CCA’s year-round commitment to opening doors for young people in the Sacramento region. Many participants come through partnerships with local schools and youth-serving nonprofits.
