2008 Atlantic City Airshow - F-16s, KC-135R, KC-10, C-17, F-22s, Refueling

Morning Military Flyovers

2008 Thunder Over the Boardwalk Airshow
Atlantic City, NJ (Boardwalk)
Wednesday August 20, 2008

IN THIS VIDEO, watch as a bunch of aircraft make their way across the shoreline over Atlantic City. Rather than presenting them in separate videos, they are all shown here in one video. Participating aircraft in this video include the following:

F-16C Fighting Falcons (4): 177th Fighter Wing, Atlantic City, NJ (NJ ANG)

KC-135R Stratotanker: 108th Air Refueling Wing, McGuire AFB, NJ (NJ ANG)

C-17 Globemaster III: 305th Air Mobility Wing, McGuire AFB, NJ

KC-10 Extender: 305th Air Mobility Wing, McGuire AFB, NJ

F-22 Raptors (4): 1st Fighter Wing, Langley AFB, VA

The F-22s were not on the schedule, and were a surprise to just about everyone in attendance, as the aircraft were in the area to fight the four F-16s from the NJ ANG. I'm betting the Raptors won that fight...

I apologize for the poor video quality, as I was experimenting with the video camera and do not have a feel for it. In fact, most of the Atlantic City videos from Tuesday and Wednesday will not be up to my usual high quality.

If you are interested in purchasing DVDs of specific aircraft or of airshows, interested in everything related to airshows (where the jet teams will be, all airshow performers, airshow reports from airshows I have attended, previews of airshows I will be attending, etc.), and/or everything related to aviation - including spotting guides to my favorite airports and military bases and aircraft factfiles, please check out Steve's Airshow World at http://www.stevesairshow.com .

[BeatsGalore4Sure]

I was mad because I brought my video camera. i didn't see any raptors on the time schedule. By the time I got my camera ready it was to late to videotape them.

I happened to be on vacation in AC and for 2 days before the Air Show the jets flew back and forth along the beach for over an hour and a half. It was AMAZING! Loud as heck too! All of a sudden you hear this roar and look up and they had flown by already. Truly spectacular to watch them practicing.

I wish i had seen four F-22s at once. The most I've seen is two. And they flew over my house at 10 o'clock at NIGHT!

Lol. The sound sounds like what you would hear on the news when the Space Shuttle is landing. But other than that, VERY good video.

[broadwaybumm]

I did cry when the ever-knowing airshow announcer called the KC-10 a modified 727 since it had three-engines. WOW! Other than that, great video as always!

[chopperhead2011]

I almost cried when those Raptors flew overhead

so beautiful :')

[ThfWrc]

Raptors were awesome, I would love to see that match..F-22 vs F-16. Actually, I'd love to see any kind of dogfight demo, or even a bomb run with dummy bombs.
