OC Air Show offers 'courtesy accommodations' for ticket holders as Saturday show cut short
After the OC Air Show slate on June 14 was cut short by perilous weather conditions for flying in Ocean City, organizers issued a statement about the situation and what comes next in the early evening. Here's what the OC Air Show's Chris Dirato said in the evening statement: "Unfortunately, today's weather forced the early conclusion of Saturday's event. While everyone worked hard to get as much of the show in as possible, the cloud ceilings and visibility dropped below FAA minimum safety requirements, preventing several scheduled performers from flying, including the Blue Angels. Safety always remains the top priority and today's conditions left no margin to continue." Dirato went on to explain that some help is being offered to people who paid for viewing area tickets for the June 14 show and want to say for June 15's show. "Per the event's published policy, all tickets are non-refundable in the event of weather impacts. However, in appreciation of our guests and recognizing today's unique circumstances, we are offering special courtesy accommodations for impacted Saturday ticket holders to attend Sunday's show.

Getting ready for the Central Pennsylvania Air Dot Show
HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) โ The Blue Angels are soaring into the Midstate this weekend. They're taking part in a huge air show at Harrisburg International Airport, making its way here for the very first time in more than 30 years. Training is going on Friday for this weekend's shows on Saturday and Sunday. Chris Dirato, who is doing PR for this event, says to expect 'lots of loud and boisterous action in the sky.' 'Of course, the US Navy Blue Angels are here as our headliner, first time in over three decades so everybody is excited to see the Blue Angels, but excited to have an air show back in Harrisburg,' Dirato said. The event also includes performances by a Viper team and parachutists. 'That's right, we have a whole, a plethora, of performers, how's that for a line,' Dirato said. 'But a combination of civilian, military performers. The F-16 Viper Demo pilot is of course from Berks County, so local guy.' If you are trying to score last-minute tickets, you're out of luck. 'We are basically sold out, so if you don't have a ticket, unfortunately, I wouldn't advise coming out to the airport,' Dirato said. 'All the parking areas will be loaded with cars. So yeah, we are sold out, and of course, next year, we already know the Blue Angels are coming back, so if you can't see them this year, you'll be able to see them next year.' Blue Angels visit Penn State Health Children's Hospital Make sure you get those tickets early though for next year if you can. 'That's right, as soon as they go on sale,' Dirato said. The gates open at 9 a.m., and performances kick off at noon. Dirato added that the Blue Angels go on at 2:30 p.m. For travelers who are wondering how they factor in flights with these performances. The airports work with airlines so if you have a flight there will be breaks during the show. For a lot of people attending, they have never seen the Blue Angels before since they have not been here in about 30 years, so we are getting spoiled with them coming to the Midstate back-to-back.
