I have unfortunately been told that the CF-18's had to call off due to them not being able to get a tanker for the flight (Personally I believe that is a very BAD reason to not come, when they can just stop somewhere and get fuel instead of a tanker) The RCAF clearly doesn't agree with you. There a...

Wish I had more to add, but here's my sad little list:

Planned:
April 20: Thunder over Louisville, Louisville, KY

May 11-12: Fort Lauderdale, FL

September 14-15: Owensboro, KY

Yeah, agreed - 100% the same for me. On the positive side, I've never seen Thunder without a pretty stacked show the last 5-10 years. This year is the 150th anniversary of the Derby, which Thunder is intended to help "kick off". I still have faith they are going to do everything they can t...

According to the line up, they arent. Its shrinked a lot The lineup at the beginning of this forum is not updated Yeah, I think historically, for various reasons the Thunder organizers don't release a "final" line-up until the week of the show (next week), or sometimes even only a day or ...

Odd they don’t list the F-35A demo team in the article. Would be a huge addition for the air show relative to its history.

From what I've been able to observe from the KY side, the Indiana folks should have roughly a similar viewing experience. This especially seems to be the case in terms of the demonstrations. In fact, a LOT of last year's F-35A demonstration seemed to fall over into the Indiana side a lot. I would no...

U.S. Navy F-35C demo team also added per press release, before the list in the news article is shown: "Organizers also released the air show lineup Wednesday morning. It will include the B-52 Bomber, Swamp Fox — an aircraft with Kentucky roots — demos from the U.S. Navy's F-35 team..." htt...

I didn't think they'd top last year, but if this line-up shows, they will. Wow!

2023 was well worth it with the F-35A and C demo teams, Growler demo team, Black Hawk demo, plus others. Hoping the current 2024 line-up expands and lives up to last couple years.
