WEST MILFORD — This year's Greenwood Lake Air Show has something new in store for fans - top acts will perform against the night sky on Friday, Aug. 12.
Starting just after 8 p.m., the Aeroshell Aerobatic Team will lift off for its twilight performance. This four-ship civilian team is one of the most sought-after acts in the air show industry. They will perform in precise formations as the sky darkens.
Following Aeroshell will be Jerry McCart in his new for 2016 Jet Truck Homewrecker. Watch as his three afterburners light up the runway as he races past the crowd. Over 36,000 horsepower is produced from the 18,000 pounds of thrust in the afterburners.
New to the Greenwood Lake Air Show is Elgin Wells in his unique Starjammer aircraft. Designed and built by Elgin, it required over a dozen patents for all of it's innovations. 250 LED lights are featured on this aircraft as well as its own 4,000 WATT on board sound system!
The grand finale of this special Friday show is Redline Airshows. Together, they will light up the night sky as pyrotechnics fly from their wing tips. Watch as they perform graceful maneuvers and daring tricks to cap off the first evening of this three-day event.
Friday is also host to Bike Night. Bikers are encouraged to bring their rides and park right in the middle of the event. Parking for bikes is free; drivers and passengers pay the price of admission.
Fresh 102.7 will be on hand with contests and giveaways. Live music will be pumping prior to the performances by Kick Start Charlie, an eight-piece rock and roll band with a three-piece horn section. Known for their high energy, they play a variety of hits from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
And that's just on Friday.
