OC Air Show Headlined By Blue Angels, Snowbirds

OCEAN CITY – The 2019 OC Air Show will showcase a variety of military performers when it returns this weekend to Ocean City.

Although the event is headquartered with multiple attractions on the beach at 16thStreet, the acts booked for this year’s air show can be seen all over Ocean City. All major acts will perform Saturday and Sunday with the schedule of performances beginning at noon and ending around 4 p.m.

The U.S. Navy Blue Angels will headline the event, which will also include the Canadian Armed Forces Snowbirds for the first time ever.

The Blue Angels team is the U.S. Navy’s flight demonstration squadron with aviators from the Navy and Marines. The Blue Angels team was formed in 1946, making it the second oldest formal flying aerobatic team (under the same name) in the world, after the French Patrouille de France formed in 1931. The six demonstration pilots fly F/A-18 Hornets in more than 30 shows at various locations throughout the United States each year, where they still employ many of the same practices and techniques used in their aerial displays from their inaugural 1946 season.
