Military planes fly along South Carolina coast for ‘Salute From Shore’

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — Military planes again plan to fly along South Carolina’s coast to help beachgoers celebrate Independence Day.

The “Salute From the Shore” is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. Saturday at the South Carolina-North Carolina state line north of Myrtle Beach.

Two F-16 jets and a larger, slower C-17 transport plane will begin their flight south and west following South Carolina’s beaches until they reach Hilton Head Island and Beaufort less than an hour later.

This is the 11th year for the flyover. People on the beach are encouraged to wave flags and make signs to show their patriotism.
