I thought I would take the opportunity to summarize the announced warbirds for this year's Thunder Over Michigan lineup so far:

MAM DeHavilland Mosquito
MAM Fw 190A-8
PV-2 Harpoon "Attu Warrior"
A-26B Invader (Tim Savage)
B-25J Mitchell "Super Rabbit"
PB4Y-2 Privateer
B-29 Superfortress "Fifi"
P-51D Mustang "Baby-Duck"
MAAM TBM-3E Avenger

NINE Great Vintage warbirds announced so far and still FIVE Months to the show!

:D

Where is Tim Savage's A-26 based ? FAA registry has it registered at Roanoke, Indiana but it may be his hometown or not.

Thank you. Would a visit to see your A-26 be welcomed? I and a co-worker would like to see it if possible sometime.
Just wondering. I would of course need your OK and not come unannounced. P.M. me to work something out.

I'd love to see the Lancaster come over and fly with the mosquito and hope Yankee Lady has another fort or two to keep her company. It was also fun seeing Witchcraft and Diamond Lil together a couple of years ago.

It was confirmed today, that the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) will participate both days at Thunder Over Michigan, August 29 and 30, 2015, with a pair of F-16 Fighting Falcons. The aircraft will be on static display and are based at Tucson, Arizona. This will be a first for "Thunder" and a first for a Michigan Air Show.

Cheers,

Tom Walsh.

The RNLAF has regrettably cancelled its F-16 participation in Thunder Over Michigan this year due to priority tasking.

Cheers,

Tom Walsh.
