The Blimp always starts the show!!

The Sea Knight was pretty cool to see and it's always cool seeing a Harrier!!

Enjoy!! :)

Did you get any shots of the SAR demo from the Coast Guard? If I remember correctly, you said you were down by the Tropicana, which, unfortunately, was a few hundred yards down the beach.

I had them drop the swimmer literally right in front of me, wish I had my camera.

And the Harrier decided to hover a little north of show center, and he did linger around for a bit. That Pegasus engine is deafening, I certainly wouldn't want to be on the deck with one of those when it's taking off without protection.

Thank you, Gemtlemen!!

They dropped in to far away from where I was so I didn't take any shots.

Only one dropped a swimmer this year. The second stayed north of Ocean One for some reason.

I've found that staying just north of show center tends to be a really nice place to sit. I usually enter the beach from the entrance closest to the end of the AC Expressway, between Boardwalk Hall and the Trump. (At least I think it's the Trump.)

It was a little tougher finding a good seat this year because I came late, but I found something a few yards from the high tide line. 8-)
