The U.S. Marine Corps has awarded one of only six coveted AV-8B Harrier Demonstrations in 2014 to the OC Air Show.
The Harrier is one of the most sought after military aircraft demos because of it’s unique ability to hover and perform a vertical take off and landing. A Harrier demo at an oceanfront venue is dramatic because of the spray it creates when it descends vertically to hover just a few hundred feet above the surface of the water.
The 7th annual edition of the event will be the only air show of the year in the mid-Atlantic region to feature a Harrier Demo. The U.S. Marine Corps is the third branch of the U.S. military to announce support for the OC Air Show. The U.S. Army Silver Wings Parachute Team will also perform and the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds will headline the event.
“We’re honored the U.S. Marine Corps have selected the OC Air Show to demonstrate the Harrier” said Bryan Lilley, President of the OC Air Show. “We are fortunate to have such great support from multiple branches of the military in such challenging times.”
“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.”
