Obviously the Thunderbirds have never flown for FreedomFair. Does anyone have any ideas where their show center would likely be placed, based on previous years show boxes ? I want to try and get as close to show center as possible for that brand new Diamond After Burner pass.

From the airshow website:
Freedom Fair Air Show

2021 Tacoma Freedom Fair Airshow

Saturday 3 July 1:30pm until 3:30pm

Sunday 4 July 1:30pm until 3:30pm

Featuring the United States Air Force Thunderbirds as well as the US Air Force F-35 Lightning II, US Navy EA-18G Growlers, and JBLMs own West Coast C-17 Demo team. Joining them will be Vicky Benzing in the N3N Stearman, Greg Colyer in the T-33 Shooting Star, Undaunted Airshows 2 Ship RV team and Renny Price in the SU-29.
More on the website but this is the most essential info. From what I hear this show is for those who picnic at the parks and as can't drive to + overflow from the Gig Harbor drive-in airshows. Very grateful :-) !

Scratch the Thunderbirds. FAA said they need 8 months to validate a modified airbox to facilitate the team.

At least the attempt was made. Thank you to all who attempted to pull this off!
