An interesting development. It seems there maybe a show after all. After the Viper team posted their updated schedule, someone on Instagram questioned that Niagara was still on the schedule, which the Viper team responded " It's still on!" The question was then posted on the Thunder of Niagara Facebook page.Sounds like there are plans for a show in downtown Buffalo and they are trying to get the same performer line-up. It won't be hosted by the Air Force. Details coming as the plans and approvals materialize.

Here is a screenshot I took of the comments:

Hopefully it would be on the Buffalo Outer Harbor. Plus it would make more sense to do it there

Regardless of the status for this year's Thunder of Niagara, the Snowbirds pretty much decided not to come.

It's official! The show has been moved from the Niagara ARS to the Buffalo Waterfront. Looks like the same performers minus the Snowbirds. Tickets go on presale today.

*Disclaimer* The show is not affiliated with the USAF or Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station.
