Perfect Flying Conditions and Beach Nourishment from Above


May is finally here! The weather is great, and summer is right around the corner. This is the perfect time for an air tour or biplane ride over the beautiful Outer Banks.

Nags Head Beach Nourishment Project

While flying over the OBX this May, take note of the Nags Head Beach Nourishment Project. This massive engineering undertaking is pumping sand from offshore to restore and widen the beaches of Nags Head.

The project is fascinating to see from the air – you can watch the dredging operations, the massive pipes running along the beach, and the newly widened shoreline taking shape. It's a unique sight that won't last forever, making now the perfect time to capture it from above.
