2024 MCAS Cherry Point Air Show

[KC_Aviation]

I was looking into stuff about the AV-8B demo and i saw that it was doing a "Level III Demo" on the cherry point website, does anybody know exactly what a "Level III Harrier Demo" is?

Back when their demo was a regular occurrence at airshows, when they listed Level III demo, it meant a two ship demo. I go too see it one year in Kansas City. I am not saying this one is, I have no information on it.

Level III is a High Show Demonstration Profile
Level II is a Low Show Demo Profile
Level I is a Flyover

Yes, across the street from the Cunningham gate and main gate is a community college, library and a park with a decent view.

Anyone know if fat albert will be preforming at this years show? Never seen him preform! Also will the show be backlit?

[OwenORourke]

I don’t have any specifics on this show, but just be aware that Bert typically only flies in the Saturday show and not Sundays. Lighting is a bit backlit in the morning with the sun getting better in the afternoon - but everything will be so far away and so heat hazed it really won’t matter LOL

[JawsJr]

Alright perfect I am going on the Saturday show! Also anyone know how good the view will be from the afterburner club seats?? Thanks

F-35 B is now listed under the performers tab. Really hoping it’s a full demo from VMFAT-501. Just saw them in Charleston and they put on a great show. The Facebook page confirmed an F-35B would be apart of the MAGTF but now they have it listed as a separate performer. Fingers crossed the Warlords will get to rule !
