Thunder Over Michigan 2023

[GRNDP51]

No flight plans are filed that I see, but looking at arrivals I only see a couple of P51s come in so far. That doesn't include military which I don't think you can typically see.

Arrivals should be alright if they're landing on 5. "Arrival Friday" has been a bit lackluster the past few years. We should get a handful of Mustangs, B-29 & B-24, C-123 (with a stablemate), C-53, B-25, F-35's, P-8, MH-53, CH-47, Harvard II, and most of the privately owned smaller warbirds (T-6's etc.). The rest of the stuff on the aircraft list is either there already or not coming (KC-135, CF-118, F-16's, F-22's came in today; Migs, Corsair, Swamp Fox, CT-133 have been there a few days).

Will the MiG-23 be flying in the practice today?

I don't believe so.

Just got this email, not sure how accurate it is (bold is added by me):

-------------------
Air Show begins tomorrow!
The planning is done, the aircraft have all arrived, and now it's time to kick back!

4 Yuma F35's just recovered over my house in Westland at 5:45.

MiG-23 just went down. Saw the pilots eject.

[dzirzow]

Any confirmation if the pilots are OK? I saw pic with lots of smoke on ground.

[Iamwiz82]

News is reporting both pilots have been found alive.

[RyanS]

Statement from the airport that the crew appeared uninjured and no one on the ground was injured either.

super sad to see the flogger go down today... i am very happy to see no fatalities however. anyone know if the Canopy loss at AirVenture has to do with this?
