OC Air Show delays June 15 start in Ocean City, still hopes to have Blue Angels flight
With cloudy skies limiting visibility for pilots, the OC Air Show had still not started its June 15 slate by 1:30 p.m., but organizers were still hoping to salvage some kind of show for the many spectators. According to a photographer on the ground, a few planes had gone up to test the weather, but the very overcast skies were preventing the 1,000 feet cloud ceiling needed for the show to go on. It was announced to the crowd that the Growlers team would not be flying, but organizers were still hoping for at least a short flight from the marquee attraction, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels The next update from the Blue Angels about a possible flight by the elite Navy squad was expected at 2:30 p.m. BLUE ANGELS TALK ABOUT RETURN: U.S. Navy Blue Angels ready to showcase high-flying maneuvers at Ocean City's OC Air Show This article originally appeared on Salisbury Daily Times: OC Air Show delays June 15 start, still aims for Blue Angels flight

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.
