Atlantic City Airshow "Thunder Over The Boardwalk" presented by Siganos
Management to take to the sky on Wednesday, August 25, 2010 New Acts,
sponsors and exhibits help celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Airshows
in Atlantic City
(Atlantic City, NJ, July 12, 2010) - The Atlantic City Airshow "Thunder
Over The Boardwalk" presented by Siganos Management returns to Atlantic
City on Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Greater Atlantic City Chamber
President Joseph Kelly made the announcement.
"I'm pleased to announce the Atlantic City Airshow is returning to the
beach and Boardwalk in 2010," said Kelly. "This year, in the spirit of a
true community event, Siganos Management will be the Presenting Sponsor
and Harrah's Entertainment will be the Host Hotel Sponsor for the
airshow."
The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds and the U.S. Army Golden Knights will
both return to headline the 2010 airshow. This year also marks the first
appearance by the Brazilian Esquadrilha da Fumaca or "Smoke Squadron".
The Brazilian Smoke Squadron will appear at only two shows this airshow
season: Atlantic City and Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Additional acts
have been added to the airshow including a U.S. Marine Harrier Jet
demonstration and a US Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet demonstration.
It's also the 100th anniversary of the first airshow to take place in
New Jersey, held in 1910 in both Atlantic City and Asbury Park. To pay
tribute, the Atlantic City Free Public Library and Asbury Park Public
Library will offer a new exhibit - Flying Fearless: Celebrating the
Centennial Anniversary of Airshows in New Jersey - at the Atlantic City
Historical Museum on Garden Pier, the Atlantic City International
Airport and Township of Ocean Historical Museum in Ocean Township,
Monmouth County. There is also an online exhibit. To learn more about
New Jersey's airshow history and view the photo exhibit at

"As our signature summer event, the Atlantic City Airshow continues to
grow in scope and popularity each year," said Jeff Vasser, president of
the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority. "It's events like the
airshow, the A10 Men's Basketball Championship and Atlantic City
Restaurant Week that continue to diversify our offerings and help keep
Atlantic City a popular destination for everyone."
Harrah's Entertainment will act as the official host hotel sponsor for
the airshow. The resort will host both military and civilian pilots,
including the US Air Force Thunderbirds.
The Atlantic City International Airport (ACY) will continue to serve as
the host airport for the 2010 Atlantic City Airshow. Each year, the
majority of airshow performers take off and land via ACY even though the
actual airshow takes place over the beach and Boardwalk in Atlantic
City.
Along with performances and demonstrations by the U.S. Air Force
Thunderbirds and the U.S. Army Golden Knights, past airshow
demonstrations and flybys have included the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy,
Air National Guard and world-class civilian acts.
