After abruptly cancelling its 2024 air show, Atlantic City is back in the air show business for the summer of 2025.
Guests along the Atlantic City shoreline and boardwalk can look to the clouds on July 15-16 for an air show produced by Herb Gillan Airshows, an Ohio-based company.
The air show is a highlight of Atlantic City’s week-long “Soar and Shore” festival, which runs from July 14-20.
The air show will feature:
- A Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17 soviet fighter jet from the cold war era;
- 177th Fighter Wing of the NJ NG will have four F-16s do a flyby
- B-25 Mitchell Bomber from WWII
- Nathan Hammond’s Super Chipmunk aerobatics

- Misty Blue all-women parachuting team
- UH-1H Huey helicopter – Vietnam era helicopter
- Skip Stewart award winning aerobatic daredevil

July 15 is scheduled as a practice day and July 16 is show day. On both days, the air show will run from noon to 2:30 pm.
