The \u201cPower in the Pines\u201d air show and open house at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst will return this weekend with demonstrations from fighter pilots, Army airborne teams, attack helicopters and historic World War II aircraft.<\/p>\n

The event will be held May 20 and May 21, 2023, at the base, beginning at 9 a.m. The event is free and open to the public. The gates which will be open are listed on the event\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s event will feature a spectacular array of combat aircraft, including U.S. Air Force F-16 Vipers and F-15 Eagles, plus Navy F\/A-18 Super Hornets. The Marine Corps will bring their AH-1Z (\u201cViper Zulu\u201d) attack helicopter \u2013 one of the most advanced in the world \u2013 plus the gigantic CH-53E Super Stallion, one of the world\u2019s largest heavy lift helicopter systems. Army aviators will show off the famed UH-60M Black Hawk, the UH-72 Lakota utility helicopter, the C-12 Huron special mission plane, and the legendary AH-64 Apache attack helicopter.<\/p>\n

The ubiquitous C-130T Hercules, MQ-9 Reaper attack drone, C-17 Globemaster transport, KC-135, KC-10 and KC-46 tankers, plus historic aircraft such as the P-51, C-47 and B-25 from World War II, will participate in heritage flights along with modern aircraft. A number of civilian sport aircraft will also participate.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Army\u2019s Golden Knights parachute team will perform a jump demonstration of the branch\u2019s vaunted airborne prowess, which Shorebeat is expected to preview with a fly-along during a training session on Friday.<\/p>\n

Shore residents and visitors are most certainly in for a unique treat this weekend with so many aircraft coming together and on public display. The full schedule is embedded below, but much more information can be found on the Joint Base\u2019s Power in the Pines website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
