Military jets will soar over the beach and boardwalk of Ocean City, Maryland, once again next year as the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds return to headline the OC Air Show, June 18-19, 2016.

The 9th annual edition of the event was moved one week later to accommodate the jet team’s schedule. The Thunderbirds flight demonstration team includes six pilots, flying patriotic red, white and blue F-16s that fly in formation and perform aerial maneuvers, sometimes just inches apart. They fly 40 maneuvers during their demonstration which showcase their skill and dedication.

The Thunderbirds will headline a full afternoon line-up of some of the nation’s top military and civilian performers.

Air Show officials also announced that the U.S. Navy Blue Angels will return again the following year for the 10 anniversary of the OC Air Show on June 17-18, 2017. Their inaugural appearance at this year’s event drew record-breaking crowds to the resort town.

"The OC Air Show keeps getting bigger and better thanks to the support of the Town of Ocean City and the hundreds of thousands of spectators who come out to make it a success some from as far away as New York, Ohio and the Carolinas” said Bryan Lilley, President of the OC Air Show. “With the confirmation of the Thunderbirds in 2016 and the Blue Angels in 2017 it will mark four straight years that the OC Air Show has featured a major military jet demonstration team.”
