Re: Thunder Over Michigan 2021

Will the Blue Angels be practicing tomorrow as well, or just the Thunderbirds? If so, does anyone know if they will be practicing during the morning time slot as if they were in the show, or will it be later in the day? I saw the time slots for both the morning and afternoon practice sessions tomor...

Re: Thunder Over Michigan 2021

I am planning on coming out on Friday to try to view the practice offsite before I go to the show on Saturday. I reviewed the previous pages and it sounds like spotting can be a bit iffy on practice days. The consensus I got was that on the Ecorse Service Road you will likely be chased away and tha...

Re: Thunder Over Michigan 2021

Has Thunder figured out what warbird/warbirds they will receive for the Heritage Flights? Also, the Texan II's are no longer on the schedule for either show. Last I saw/heard for the USAF Heritage flight was a F-35 and a P-51. They wanted a 3rd bird to fill in the spot(Personally I'd take the A-10)...

Re: Thunder Over Michigan 2021

17th Mitchell added, Wiley Sanders's B-25J Mitchell "Georgia Mae"! This is a very rare public appearance for that airframe. Nice work by the Thunder crew! That and Semper Fi were the two on my "must see" list. But wasn't expecting either one to make it, but I guess I underestima...

In a facebook comment, Thunder said the F-35 will also stage remotely along with the Tbirds.
