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.

Apparently, the Class of '45 was a late addition. They stopped in Cookeville, TN en route yesterday.

You can go to the airport mos...

Re: Wings Over North Georgia 2022

It's going to be a hybrid format show of both drive-in and general admission. Front/second row drive-in will be $250-300, general admission will be $25. Another change is gen. adm. tickets will be good either day, this was not the case before.
