Under gray skies, and periods of rain, the Ocean City Air Show thrilled tens of thousands of onlookers Aug. 15 and 16 on the beach, boardwalk and hotel balconies. With the COVID-19 pandemic forcing the cancellation of many events this year, the Ocean City show was one of the few to take place in the country.
