Featuring Free Spectacular Views of the Show from Atlantic City Beaches and Boardwalks, Along with the Return of the Veterans Resource Row
The Atlantic City Airshow is the world’s premier midweek beachfront airshow, drawing more than 500,000 spectators annually. It’s set to take to the skies above Atlantic City’s beaches on Wednesday, Aug. 24 starting at 11 a.m.
This year’s star-studded Airshow lineup includes the return of major military acts like the U.S. Army Golden Knights, the U.S.A.F. Thunderbirds, and the long-awaited reappearance of the U.S. Navy’s F/A-18 Super Hornet “Rhino” East Coast Demo Team, as well as civilian acts, including Chris Thomas Airshows, Paul Dougherty Airshows, Full Throttle Formation Team, and Jim Beasley.
“This year’s lineup of performers is second to none,” said Greater Atlantic City Chamber President Michael Chait and organizer for this year’s Airshow. “You have both military and civilian acts that are among the best in the country soaring to our beaches right here in the Garden State – we promise that this will be our best show to date!”
