Press Release:

    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!
