ATLANTIC CITY – Atlantic City Airshow, Thunder Over the Boardwalk, the
resort’s signature summer event, will include demonstrations by the U.S.
Air Force Thunderbirds, parachute flag jump by the U.S. Army Golden
Knights and world-class aerobatics teams over the beach and Boardwalk

Unlike last year, the 12th annual event will include military
demonstrations by the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S.
Marine Corps. Popular civilian acts are also returning.
The Atlantic City Airshow is the largest one-day, midweek,
over-the-ocean air show in the country, and is a community partnership
between the Greater Atlantic City Chamber, the City of Atlantic City,
the 177th Fighter Wing of the New Jersey Air National Guard, South
Jersey Transportation Authority, FAA William J. Hughes Tech Center, the
Atlantic City International Airport, David Schultz Airshows, LLC, the
Atlantic City Alliance, the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority
and many others.
Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa is the host hotel and Atlantic City
International Airport (ACY) is the host airport for the Atlantic City
Airshow.
Most of the show performers take off and land via ACY, although the
Atlantic City Airshow takes place over the beach and Boardwalk in
Atlantic City.
Show day is Wednesday, Aug. 13 from noon to 4 p.m. Visitors might
also want to check out the free practice day on Tuesday, Aug. 12 from
noon to 3 p.m. Traditionally a popular event, it features a shortened
flight schedule and primes smaller audiences before the big day.
