The Atlantic City Airshow "Thunder Over the Boardwalk" celebrates its 16th year of flying over the beach and boardwalk on Wednesday, August 22nd, according to the lineup released Monday by the show's organizer, the Greater Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce.
“We are excited to welcome back the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, and GEICO to participate in Atlantic City’s signature summer event,” said Greater Atlantic City Chamber President Joe Kelly. “This year’s show will also include an appearance by the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, which is a great addition to our lineup and makes the Atlantic City Airshow an international event,” he added.
