A biannual event, the Gateway Aviation Day was held during the second Saturday of March, on the same day NAS El Centro      
and Davis-Monthan AFB opened their gates. Gateway was open from 9am to 2pm, with free entrance and a large crowd.      
The former Williams AFB is a popular weekend stop for US military aircraft and they showed up in interesting numbers.      
The list of (ex-) military aircraft was compiled around sunset on Friday preceeding the show day.
