THUNDER OVER MICHIGAN 2024

[Laskow2]

I noticed that all the WW1 planes that where supposed to do a battle demo where taken off the performer list on TOM's website. Are they actually not doing the demo or is it just a mistake?

interesting, they are still on the "schedule" however

A number of performers disappeared after the list was updated with the Rhino..I am wondering (hoping) if it is just a mistake during that update. Won't be the first time something like that has happened.

$55 for parking and $70 to get in. The powers that be have destroyed a good show . Maybe eventually new board members will come along with a different mindset and make drastic changes. Until then, everything at TOM I can catch in BC or at selfridge

That's just the cost of doing business. I wish people would happily attend this wonderful show knowing that they're supporting a museum that has one of the only flying B-17s left in the world along with of course Rosie, Joe, the Greyhound and the Tri-Motor.

It's amazing how much crap gets dumped on the team at Thunder without mentioning that their hard work directly supports the museum. Every time I see a so-called aviation enthusiast say "I'll just see it at Selfridge for free" I wonder how long until there aren't any WW2 bombers gracing our skies due to increased costs and lack of funding.

Sorry Miker that you're taking the brunt of this rant as it's not specifically directed at you, many have made similar comments here.

Support Aviation Museums!

It’s not that I want it to be free. I understand there is a cost of doing business. Just my logic, if you lower the prices , the volume of traffic multiples and the vendors make more. The more money people have on their pockets, the more money they give their kids to tour your warbirds that you mentioned. The line at Oshkosh to tour doc, fifi, and others is usually decent and most people donate $5-$10 to walk thru it. $55 for parking a car is a hard pill to swallow. People only have a set amount of money. Trust the concept of supply and demand. Provide a good service, reasonably priced , and the attendance will sky rocket

The only performers that disappeared where the four ww1 planes. It also still shows them on the schedule... I also never saw Redline Airshows on the website.
