(Tribune News Service) — The Atlantic City Airshow is making its return to the Jersey Shore this summer for a 20th year.
Among the featured performers at the Aug. 16 event will be the U.S. Marine Corps AV-8B Harrier Demo Team, U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, U.S. Army Golden Knights Parachute Team and the 177th Fighter Wing of the New Jersey Air National Guard, organizers said Thursday.
The show is called, “A Salute to Those Who Serve.”
The Thunderbirds’ return to the Jersey Shore will be highlighted by an appearance from the F-16 Fighting Falcon.
Aug. 15 will be a practice day before the main event. Organizers said about 400,000 people took in at least part of last year’s show.

While viewers can watch for free along the beach in Atlantic City and surrounding towns, a new ticket option is available this year to get spectators closer to the action.
Tickets for The Fly Zone are $25 for those 13 and older and $15 for children 6 to 12. Kids 5 and under are admitted free. Prices for the practice day are $5 fewer. People who buy tickets to the fenced-in “Sky Zone” will have access to portable bathrooms as well as food and beverage vendors.
Spectators in The Fly Zone can bring their own chairs, blankets, towels and umbrellas into this area, though tents and cabanas are not allowed. There will be no chair rentals available.
Tickets can be purchased at AtlanticCityAirshow.com.
