Friday Fun: 2021 Atlantic City Airshow

For Friday Fun I turn to the Atlantic City NJ Airshow, held on August 18th (see this August 19th article from NJ Advance Media. Last year Atlantic City cancelled the Airshow because of COVID, so this years show was special. It is always special when there are some fun aviation activities here in New Jersey and environs to share with you. There are a plenty of videos on YouTube with various highlights of this years Atlantic City Airshow, the one I am sharing with you is a little over 14 minutes and the videographer included labels under the aircraft. Enjoy,

Blue Angels and Thunderbirds Flyover of NY/NJ/PA: videos

As many of you already know, On Tuesday April 28th, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and the U.S. Airforce Thunderbirds did a joint flyover of New York City, New Jersey, Long Island, Westchester County New York, portions of Connecticut, portions of central and southern New Jersey, Philadelphia Pennsylvania, and Wilmington Delaware. See my April 27th article for more information.

The flyover was to honor the frontline medical and other essential workers.

I am going to share some of my favorite video highlights of the flyover with regrets that I can not show videos from all the flyovers of all the areas.

I start with the only video that is a news report, this one from NBC 4 in New York City from April 28th. I share this video because you will some footage of flyovers of hospitals in New York City and Newark New Jersey.

Here are two videos of footage over New York City. The first video is shot from an area in Jersey City (across the Hudson River from New York City) shot from a neighborhood known as Jersey City Heights. This is great footage with sound of the flyover over the Hudson River. The footage is embedded from the HMag Twitter Account.

The second video of footage of the flyover over New York City is from ABC News.

Some footage of the flyover over northern New Jersey from New Jersey Advance Media

I really enjoyed this footage from Penn Live, you hear great fighter jet sounds and there is great footage shot from the ground of the flyover over Philadelphia. From the point of view of an aviation lover, this is my favorite.

Blue Angels and Thunderbirds: April 28th flyover of NYC/NJ/PA/DE to honor healthcare workers

Last week I heard rumors about a flyover of Philadelphia and environs by the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds to honor our frontline healthcare workers, these rumors are now confirmed. Our flyover in NewYork City, New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Delaware (along with Westchester Count, Nassau County and portions of Connecticut) is on Tuesday, April 28th. I understand that there have been flyovers in other parts of the country and more flyovers of other cities are planned. See this press release from the Department of Defense and this report from the Washington Post. I am too far north and west to see the flyover, perhaps I can catch it on local tv news. But it does not matter to me that I won't see them. It is enough for me that they will be flying over hospitals.

More fun: Atlantic City Airshow featuring the USAF Thunderbirds

I shared a video on January 17th featuring the US Navy's Blue Angels. Continuing with airshows, I want to share a video from the 2018 Atlantic City Airshow featuring the USAF Thunderbirds. Allow about 34 minutes to watch this video. Enjoy.
