Come give a “Salute to Those Who

Serve” at the AC AirShow

Atlantic City, NJ - One of the largest tourism draws to the AC
boardwalk is the 19th annual Atlantic City AirShow to take
place on August 18th, 2021. The USAF Thunderbirds will re-
turn to manipulate gravity, along with guest demonstration
teams to be announced.

The airshow itself is a free event to be viewed on the beach or

boardwalk. Aviation enthusiasts and on-lookers alike can pur-
chase tickets to view the show from the Flightline Club for $55
per person. This all-inclusive ticket buys reprieve from the sun under tents with tables and chairs;
soft pretzels and an all-you-can-eat lunch, and unlimited non-alcoholic beverages and water. This
premium view area includes private bathrooms, a private beach, and quality sound and narration.

Hefty revenue is anticipated from businesses and casinos just as the spectators stay glued to their
beach chairs anticipating that air-show-concluding-sonic-boom from the F16c -Fighting Falcon.
The Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce purposely places the show on Wednesday to increase
the mid-week economic slump for tourism-reliant businesses. Robert Mulcahy, board chairman
of the Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce reports that this event has brought $45 million to the
South Jersey shore area.  “It draws more than 400,000 people to Atlantic City and has become a
multi-day celebration.”

The Atlantic City Airshow is a community partnership between the Greater Atlantic City
Chamber; the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority; the City of Atlantic City; the 177th
Fighter Wing of the N.J. Air National Guard; South Jersey Transportation Authority; FAA
William J. Hughes Tech Center; The Atlantic City International Airport; David Schultz Air-
shows, LLC; and many others.  The Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa is the host hotel for the event.

The spectacle begins at 11:30am and concludes at 4pm.
