Hannah VanDam, a lifeguard at Hunting Island State Park, watches as a pair of F-16s from Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter cruise by on the Fourth of July at the beach Saturday. Also participating was a vintage P-51 Mustang and a big C-127 cargo jet, all part of the Salute From the Shore which began near Myrtle Beach and made its way down past Hunting Island.
