Atlantic City, NJ Air Show Info?

[RJM62]

Anyone familiar with this show?

Specifically: I'd like information about where to park, what are the best places to plant oneself for a good view, how early to get there, how much does it cost (adult and child prices), etc.

I'm thinking about schlepping a contingent of family and friends there, as they were unable to attend the show in Jones Beach this past weekend.

Thanks,

-Rich

Disclaimer- I haven't been to this show, but I've lived close to AC and have been there many times. I was able to go to the Millville airshow without dealing with the traffic (bicycle and knowing the FBO well) to get my airshow fix.

The airshow is off the boardwalk over the water. Best parking is in the casinos. Get there early; aside from the usual airshow crowds, there's always people coming from LI/NYC for the casinos and beaches on nice weekends. The Garden State Parkway lives up to its name since traffic is slow after ~10-11AM. Afternoon traffic is a bear too, stay awhile and enjoy the casinos.

EDIT: Another idea is to drive to ACY ($5 a day car parking when I lived down there), or fly there- nice Class C airport- and get a cab to the boardwalk. This gets you away some of the traffic. Get a casino hotel to get you a cab back.

Its free, just part anywhere with easy access to the boardwalk, its a great show lots of planes. The actual show is somewhat close to the Hilton, but I've walked there from Margate.

Okay, thanks. That's very helpful.
