JULY 4TH "SALUTE FROM THE SHORE" STARTS PROMPTLY AT 1:00 p.m. in CHERRY GROVE AND ULTIMATELY INVOLVES THE ENTIRE COAST.
According to the official website (www.salutefromtheshore.org), the 6th Annual Salute from the Shore will begin at 1:00 PM on July 4th in the Cherry Grove section of North Myrtle Beach.
A
flight of two F-16s from the 20th Fighter Wing based at Shaw Air Force
Base will begin the flyover promptly at 1:00 p.m. and ultimately will
cover the entire coast, circling Patriot’s Point in Charleston before
concluding their run south of Hilton Head at about 1:45 PM.
Due
to the large number of vintage military aircraft involved and their
different flight speeds, the planes will be grouped according to speed
and will follow the F-16s. This will give everyone on the beaches a
longer experience. The slower planes will start first and will be
visible over Cherry Grove quickly. There will be other flights of planes
that will be visible at different times at different points along the
coast, but all should be visible between 1:00 and 2:00 PM on the Fourth
of July.
