Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to some of the most common questions about the air show.

Q: Besides the air show, what is there to see, or do, in the area?

A: Historic Wilmington & NC's Cape Fear Coast encompasses the city of Wilmington and the island communities of Carolina Beach, Kure Beach and Wrightsville Beach. Its beautiful, uncrowded beaches and nearby estuarine reserves provide a true haven for sunseekers, beachcombers and nature lovers, and a sportsman's paradise for anglers, mariners and watersports enthusiasts. Each of these North Carolina beach cities is unique and will give you its own memorable experience. Because the city and beach towns are within 25 minutes of one another, you can enjoy them all in the same weekend.

A: Due to inssurance concerns, private vehicles such as golf carts, skate boards, in-line skates and bicycles are not allowed on air show grounds.
