**Marine Corps Air
Station Cherry Point will host the 2016 air show
"Celebrating 75 Years" at the air station,
located aboard the east coast's premiere Marine
Corps jet base, centrally located in Havelock,
N.C., April 29, 30 and May 1.
Call your family and
friends and mark your calendars for eastern
North Carolina's biggest, baddest, fastest and
loudest outdoor event April 29, 30 and May 1,
2016!
The
commanding officer of Marine Corps Air Station
Cherry Point invites you to visit the Marine
Corps' largest air base for the 2016 MCAS Cherry
Point Air Show, featuring the world's top
aviation aerobatic team, the U.S. Navy Blue
Angels. This year's show will also highlight
Cherry Point's 75th Anniversary -- it promises
to be the best show ever. Beginning with a
spectacular night show on Friday, April 29, the
skies will light up with afterburners,
jet-assisted takeoffs, wingtip pyrotechnics,
sky-diving demonstrations, a jet school bus
blasting down the runway, plus the
crowd-pleasing "wall of flame," all culminating
with a massive fireworks display on the flight
line. Gates open Friday, April 29 at 5 p.m.
Saturday
and Sunday will both have full day shows
featuring a dizzying variety of military and
civilian aerobatic demonstrations. You and your
family will get up close and personal to dozens
of historic and modern aircraft displays, as
well as a wide array of military vehicles and
equipment. The show will offer children's
activities, an outdoor recreational show and
much more. Admission and parking are FREE. The
air show narrator will talk you through a Marine
Air Ground Task Force demonstration as air and
ground Marine combat forces simulate an assault
on enemy positions right in front of your eyes!
Individual demonstrations, such as one by the
Marine Corps' AV-8B Harrier, will make it clear
why the Marine Corps is the finest fighting
force in the world. FREE live concert on
Saturday night! Gates open Saturday and Sunday
at 8 a.m.
And, as
always, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels will provide
the grand finale both days!
