I asked this to a crew from Atlantic City while dining at an airport restaurant a few weeks ago; there isn't a Coast Guard Demo Team. What they do in a demonstration whether over land or sea is the same thing they do during normal training sorties (and of course in real life operations). It's only a matter of availability. I've personally been to airshows where a demo was on the schedule but was cancelled last minute because they actually had to go out and save people.Michael Bennett wrote: ↑Mon Apr 24, 2023 12:39 am Also does the Coast Guard S&R demo have a schedule?

F-16 Viper Demo Team has nothing booked June 10-11. Wonder if there’s a chance they come to Ocean City. Guess we have to stay tuned. We already have 2 major single aircraft demo teams.

I’m hearing that drop zone tickets are not worth it for this show and is a waste of money? Also does the entrance have one person scanning or multiple because I’ve heard bad things for their show in Fort Lauderdale this past weekend. There were 300 people in line and one person scanning.

I think and don't quote me but there are 2 or 3 entrances and made 2 or 3 people scanning I know there sometimes a line when it first opens up. You can easily watch the show from anywhere on the beach with 1/2 a dozen block or so of show center with little problem.Michael Bennett wrote: ↑Wed May 03, 2023 12:44 am I’m hearing that drop zone tickets are not worth it for this show and is a waste of money?

This is the drop zone directly in front of our hotel from last year. We don't buy tickets. See the fenced in area with the tents? Thats the reserved area for ticket holders. Everything outside that little fence is free to anyone to the left and right.

I'm confused. So the three tents in front of you are for drop zone guests? And what is the big tent to the left?Jared91 wrote: ↑Thu May 04, 2023 9:01 pm This is the drop zone directly in front of our hotel from last year. We don't buy tickets.
