The 19th Annual MEET AC Atlantic City Airshow is one week from today, on Wednesday, August 24, 2022.

We will be hosting a 5-hour pregame show from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and the Airshow is set to begin at approximately 11:00 a.m.

You can listen to all of the exciting action on WPG Talk Radio 95.5 FM and 1450 AM

Important reminder, nearly the entire airshow also takes place on practice day, Tuesday, August 23, 2022.

“This year’s line-up of performers is second to none,” said Greater Atlantic City Chamber President Michael Chait, the 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!”

The City of Atlantic City, Office of Emergency Management has released important Airshow (air space) restriction information as follows:

“An Air Show safety issue for all concerned that must be followed is the restriction of any drones, parasailing, kite flying, or any other device within a 10-mile radius of the Air Show space on the practice days Monday, August 22, 2022, and Tuesday, August 23, 2022, and the day of the Air Show Wednesday, August 24, 2022. Any drones or other devices used in violation of this restriction will be confiscated and their operators arrested.”

“The restriction has been the practice for the past 19 years and continues with the compliance of all municipalities from Longport to Brigantine. The exact restricted area runs from 23rd Street in Longport to South Roosevelt Boulevard in Brigantine,” said The Atlantic City Office of Emergency Management.
