    They will not fly at the cherry festival. Too late in their scheduling. Not just for them for for the festival to make those changes.

    Saw them today, March 4th, 2019, do a Fly By in Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley, buzzed VNY tower, did a lap, then smoke before landing for a refuel? Maybe they did a refuel over by Pt. Mugu, NAWS ? Doing a Promotion for a Captain Marvel movie release in Hollywood this evening after 5 pm.

    What time does the show start at Keesler Air Force Base on Saturday May 4th?

    Do you not do any US Heartland states? (southern Missouri and Illinois, or northern Arkansas, or western Tennessee or Kentucky. The Navy Blue Angels come to the Cape Girardeau, Missouri Air Festival all the time (just this past weekend). I watched the Thunderbirds perform when I was 14 years of age. Now at 49, I was telling my 13 year old son about the Thunderbirds, while watching the Blue Angels. I want my son to see the Thunderbirds perform sometime, but Ohio is a long drive. Please consider demonstrating in the earlier listed states.
