This year's show included the U.S. Navy's F-18 Super Hornets, The F-16 CJ Vipers from the U.S. Air Force, The U.S. Army's Golden Knights Parachute Team, and the U.S. Coast Guard search and rescue demonstrations.
The crowds were estimated at 4 to 500-thousand.
"This is the largest beach front air show in the world today," said air show coordinator David Schultz.
But the spectators weren't the only ones excited to be there today. Performers are said to be turned away each year due to the show's popularity.
Interspersed among the military maneuvers were aerobatic displays from some of the most talented pilots in the world. They describe their flying as everything airplanes are NOT supposed to do.
Pilots, it seems, love to fly the skies over the beach, boardwalk, and ocean.
Then, the Air Force Thunderbirds capped off a near-perfect afternoon.
Thunderbirds spokesperson Elizabeth Kreft summed up the emotions of most of those watching today by saying, "I can't tell you how much respect I have for our pilots. They're so well trained."
