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.n33d4sp33d_85 wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2024 4:54 pm Redline Airshows no longer showing on the performers page.

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 rocketFlyRed wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 11:13 amThat'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!

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.martin_sam_2000 wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2024 11:27 pmA 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.

Redline wasn’t added to the website yet. The schedule will also have to be updated and should be by early June.
Two new aircraft added, both from Timmermans Legends of Flight. Sea Fury FB Mk. 11! & TF-51D Mustang "Double Trouble Two"!

(I know that's not the expression but I like charcoal grilling.)

I feel like we have been receiving very little updates since this new website model. There are still no ground displays posted.

They responded to a comment on Facebook recently saying that they are still working on there list of ground displays. And that the list will be revealed closer to the show.JBavaition wrote: ↑Sat May 25, 2024 10:16 pm I feel like we have been receiving very little updates since this new website model.
