Ocean City’s Boardwalk Aerobatic Show soared into town on Sunday, Sept.15, delivering high-speed excitement to visitors up and down the beach. Prior to the show, attendees were greeted with a special flyover by the 177th Fighter Wing out of Egg Harbor Township.
The program continued at 1 p.m. with a jump from Team Fastrax, soaring over 11th Street Beach with a giant American flag. The jump team also carried a flag in support of Honor and Remember, an organization that recognizes fallen service members and their families.
The show included flyovers from renowned pilots Rick Volker, Kevin Russo, and Scott Francis, all of whom brought their amazing aerial skills and expertise to the delight of all watching on the ground below. The Jersey Jerks created stunning visual displays through classic warbirds, while the nine-plane Full Throttle Formation Team out of Atlanta, Ga. dazzled in aerial delight. Even Boeing’s KC-46A Peagusus refueling plane made a special appearance for Sunday’s show.
Sunday’s Aerobatic Show was proceeded by Ocean City’s Airport Festival, and Boardwalk Pyrotechnic Parachute Jump on Saturday.
