Re: Thunder Over Michigan 2022

You've got until tomorrow to fill out the show survey sent to ticket buyers. Let them know what you would like to see in the future for the show. The first question is whether to keep the drive-in format or not.

Re: Atlanta Air Show 2022

Keep in mind as the day goes you will be looking into the sun. The show line is facing SW right into the afternoon sun. Every photo I took was black lit, which is the main reason I never went back.

Re: EAA Airventure Oshkosh 2022

So, I noticed on the air show schedule that on Friday, Saturday and Sunday they have penciled in a Polaris Program Arrival / Polaris Dawn. Can anyone give more insight on what this is supposed to be? My guess is that it might be related to Jared Isaacman and the privately-owned 1989 Mikoyan-Gurevic...

Re: Thunder Over Michigan 2022

If I recall, in 2021 before the format change, I bought 2 tickets and parking for just $25. After giving away a many freebies to people who bought tickets in 2020 and to people who had Wild Wednesday tickets, they did not even come close to selling out on any show besides Saturday Afternoon. I hope...

Re: Thunder Over Michigan 2022

The final aircraft list still doesn't list the Fw-190 or Corsair. https://yankeeairmuseum.org/airshow/aircraft-list/
There is no record of the 190 flying this year, that I could find. Lou Horschel's Corsair did fly yesterday in Dunkirk, NY. A test hop, perhaps?

Re: Thunder Over Michigan 2022

So the big British theme is going to end up being exactly what St. Louis did for like 10x the price and only for a half day. Lol. Hope it's a little better than that for those of you who are attending. They should have a single ticket option for those who don't have a massive car load of people to ...

Re: Thunder Over Michigan 2022

Firefly canceled, according to updated schedule. Still no mention of a Corsair demo. Huh. Firefly was on the updated Aircraft list. It could be Flying in the afternoon shows now. It's not listed on the latest TOM Facebook update from today and it was listed on the previous schedule. They only poste...

I would guess the Tri-State Warbird Museum Flug-Werk 190 only because it is the closest one to Michigan.
