Where do I go to buy tickets to the Columbus shoe?
RyanS
Shows at military bases typically don’t require tickets for general admission. You can find more show info at https://wocairshow.com/
Michele Romero
Since the military sites most likely do not require tickets, can you send me the link for the Great Falls Montana show? I can not find the link. Thank you.
RyanS
Google says that this is their website – http://greatfallsairshow.com/

Living on AFB most of my life. Grew up seeing the airshow… now due to covid its hard to keep track… living in Western Massachusetts. I have a privilege of having Westover and Barnes close by.
Mark McKee

Was very disappointed that thunderbirds did not plan a show here in Massachusetts. Even after twenty years in USAF I still get chills at shows.
I know how team schedulers work and requests need to be in years in advance. I was at Nelli’s AFB years ago and watched team practice all the time until I got bored.
Now, I check their schedule long before they show up to see if they have a show close by. Covid quashed any dreams of that happening.
Will see if they show up at Pease in ’23 or cancel again.
Thank you.
