In a press release on Friday, officials at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort have announced that the upcoming 2021 MCAS Beaufort Air Show has been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The 2021 Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort Air Show has been canceled in order to protect the health of our service members,” the release by Col. Karl Arbogast, Commanding Officer at MCAS Beaufort said.
“The MCAS Beaufort air Show is a cherished event that allows the Air Station the opportunity to say thank you to our neighbors who support the men and women serving this nation. It is a difficult decision for me to cancel such a monumental event, but given the current COVID-19 environment, it must be done.”
“We look forward to April 2023, as planning for the biennial MCAS Beaufort Air Show has already begun.”
Sad, indeed.
Every 2 years, the MCAS Beaufort Air Show hosts nearly 100,000 friends and neighbors and showcases Naval aviation at its best with a demonstration by the United States Naval Flight Demonstration Team, the Blue Angels, among others.
