Fourth of July, Salute from the Shore: 7 '16

This year marked the 7th annual Fourth of July "Salute from the Shore". The Salute is a military flyover by military aircraft of the entire length of South Carolina’s coast.

Those two little black dots  in front of the cloud are the F16s

Two F 16s lead the Fly-by. Truth be told, the jets were easier to hear than see, and they were gone from view almost as fast as they appeared.



But patience prevailed, and we were soon rewarded with a string of vintage aircraft that were more impressive as they flew a lot closer to the ground and a lot slower than the jets.


While the fly-over can be viewed from the beach, it is often difficult to find beach-side parking on a holiday.  We opted to join with friends, neighbors, and their families to watch the event from the Pawleys Plantation causeway to the thirteenth green.
