Ocean City Air Show Draws Thousands of Spectators

Thousands of Boardwalk Aerobatic Airshow spectators jammed the Ocean City Boardwalk and downtown beaches on Sunday to catch a glimpse of a two-hour display of airplane stunts and maneuvers.

The show took place over the Atlantic Ocean just off the beach and Boardwalk between Sixth and 14th streets. Blue skies, light winds and warm September weather made for a perfect day for the oceanfront event.
