This year marks the 25th anniversary for this must-attend event hosted by Gordon and Molly McCall. "On one hand, it's hard to believe that it's already been 25 years since we first threw this little party," says Gordon McCall, President and CEO of McCall Events.

The Monterey Jet Center is home to many fine aircraft, but on this one August night guests will be treated to some unique examples. Among them, a pair of WWII-era Douglas DC-3 propeller airliner will grace the tarmac alongside the latest in personal aircraft from the likes of Gulfstream, Honda Jet and Pilatus.
