THE AJ MEERWALD, New Jersey’s Tall Ship, is offering public sails from Cape May for a few more days.  For the past couple of weeks the Meerwald has been seen plying the waters of Cape May Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean as passengers enjoy two-and-a-half hour sails.  September 5^th is her last sail from Cape May.  Tickets $40 for adults and $20 for children, and are available here: http://bayshorecenter.org/a-j-meerwald/buy-tickets/ On September 6^th the Meerwald will depart Cape May for Bivalve, NJ.

THE BLUE ANGELS made a surprise appearance this past Sunday evening as they flew in perfect formation over Stone Harbor and Avalon enroute to Atlantic City for Wednesday’s air show.  Seven US Navy F/A-18 Hornets flew in perfect formation at low altitude over Stone Harbor, then Avalon, as the team made their way toward Atlantic City.  The Blue Angels performed at an air show in Michigan earlier on Sunday, and before heading to Atlantic City took a “detour” over Washington, DC.  Their route northward to Atlantic City took them right over the Island, to the delight of anyone who happened to catch them fly by!

The Atlantic City Air Show featured a USAF F-22 Raptor and the US Navy Blue Angels, among many other performers!

IF YOU MISSED the Atlantic City Air Show, check out AirFest at Naval Air Station Wildwood over Labor Day Weekend.  WWII vintage aircraft will be on display and making scheduled flights.  Throughout the event you’ll find food trucks, a beer garden, kids’ activities, plus static displays of the museums two-dozen aircraft.  For more information on the museum or admission to AirFest, visit http://www.usnasw.org/
