We are excited to announce our lineup of 11 vintage planes for the 2014 Salute from the Shore! The planes and pilots will once again be led by Barry Avent, flying his C-47 Bones. Barry will be joined by the additional patriotic pilots and planes below. Check our 2014 Flight Schedule for approximate times of the flyover at different locations along the South Carolina coast. Don’t forget to post or tweet live using the hashtag #salute5 to keep others down the beach updated with the planes’ progress.

The 5th Annual Salute from the Shore will begin, as always, at 1:00 PM in Cherry Grove, SC. Due to the large number of vintage military aircraft involved and their different flight speeds, we’ve decided to group them according to speed. This will give everyone on the beaches a longer experience! The slower planes will start first and will be visible over Cherry Grove immediately. There will be two more flights of planes that will chase and overtake the slower aircraft at different points along the coast.
We hope you enjoy this new feature, and we certainly hope it will allow even more people to experience this special tribute to our nation’s military. Please share the schedule with friends and family who will be on the South Carolina coast this July 4th!
