The Navy has announced a special air show -- including a massive flyover of San Diego Bay by more than 150 aircraft -- to celebrate the 100-year anniversary of naval aviation.

"It is expected to be the largest aerial flyover since World War II and the largest in San Diego since November, 1918," said Lt. Cmdr. Alli Myrick-Ellison, a Navy spokeswoman in Coronado.

The Navy is billing the show as a once-in-a-lifetime event that will allow the public to see the aircraft in flight from vantage points all around the bay.

The show, slated for Feb. 12 at North Island Naval Air Station, kicks off what will be a yearlong effort to mark the start of the Navy’s foray into the air.

The free event will also include a timeline-like display of aircraft from vintage planes to the newest fighter jets.

It’s also your chance to see inside a $4 billion Navy flattop.

Tours of Navy aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships will be offered, along with a tactical demonstration by Marine aircraft and ground equipment.

The Navy’s flying roots start in the San Diego region. In 1911, the Navy's first aviator, Lt. T.G. Ellyson trained at North Island and later qualified in the A-1 Triad, the Navy’s first aircraft.
