It's almost Thunder Over the Boardwalk time!
The annual Atlantic City Airshow is tomorrow, and it will fill the skies over the Boardwalk and casino with planes from U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, U.S. Army Golden Knights Parachute Team, U.S. Navy Super Hornet, and a lot more. Check out the details here.
My two tips:
1. If you can, go today. It's their practice day, and the crowds will be much smaller (estimates are that the Wednesday event draws 750,000 people). There's no schedule for practice because that depends on the weather, but if you're in town or thinking about sneaking down, this could be a reason why.
2. If you go tomorrow, do not plan on leaving right after the show. Atlantic City (and Ventnor, Margate and Longport for that matter) are paralyzed by traffic when the show is over. So make other plans (dinner anyone?) to avoid that crush.
And enjoy! I'll be in Cape May working tomorrow. Maybe I'll catch sight of a few planes on my way home.

I go to the beach in Ventnor to watch the air show (and bring binoculars). It's less crowded, and an easier exit south through Margate. Looking forward to the show, and a beautiful day on the beach!
