The Millville Wings and Wheels
Air Show, held Memorial Day Weekend at Millville Airport, NJ,
lost it’s main attraction when the US Navy Blue Angels
cancelled after a safety lapse at an airshow the previous weekend
in Virginia. This error caused the team to go on an indefinite
safety stand-down resulting from this event.
|
Quick thinking by David Schultz Airshows producing
the airshow more than made up for the Blues not flying. Shuffling
the flying and adding acts kept planes in the skies throughout
the day to please the crowds on hand. Taking the place as show
closer was the USAF F-16 Viper West Demonstration Team leading
into the USAF Heritage Flight to close the show.
|
The list of performers flying
the show include Matt Chapman, Mike Wiskus, Tim Weber, Jason
Flood, Kevin Russo and the Red Eagles Airsports. The US Army
Golden Knights performed twice during the day showing their amazing
talent.
|
The Northeast Raiders Aerobatic
Team flying a precision formation demo was also a sight to be
seen by all. A flyby on Saturday had two NJANG F-16’s from
the 177 th based at Atlantic City International Airport and a
C-17 from McGuire AFB. Also taking to the skies over Millville
were a flight of L Birds and a T-6/SNJ flight formation. To slow
things down a little, a 1911 Curtiss Pusher did a couple of not
too fast passes around the airfield. Helicopter demos included
the US Coast Guard, NJ State Police and Atlantic Health Medical
Hospital copter.
|
This show gets a solid 8+ and
I want to thank everyone from the David Schultz Airshows, Lisa
Jester and Donna Vertolli for all their help and information
before and during the show.
