Thunder over Michigan 2008

Tue Aug 14, 2007 8:26 pm

The dates for Thunder 08 will be August 9th and 10th.

This will be a big year, as it is 10 years of the show.

Should be a GREAT show again next year. Looking forward to my 4th in a row.

Wow 10! I remember the first Mustang/Mustang Gathering. I have been there for every one. Can't wait.

I've only been going for 3 years, but I'll mark the date. 8) Look forward to finding out what the theme is.

I'd really like to have another go at a Battle of Britain theme. I think there is a pretty good chance we could have at least seven fighters if all other factors work out. I'll bet there are a lot of people that would love to see the Lanc with a proper escort.

I hope they are going to have the ground demonstration back next year too. I was disappointed they didn't have it this year.

Sorry for being slightly off topic, but I want to share this... From what I understand plans are underway to have the Lanc fly with 3 Spitfires and 3 Hurricaines at next year's Fathers Day Weekend in Hamilton Ontario.

As for Thunder, I can't wait, whatever gets put on will be impressive. This year my friend and I are definitely doing the photo pit/tour, get the full enjoyment out of the show! (I suppose to get the FULL enjoyment out of the show I'd have to be in one of those cockpits, but I can't afford a warbird yet!)

Has any decision been made yet for a theme for the 2008 show?

I'm going to plan to go to both Saturday and Sundays show. I just sent Tom a E-mail requesting the photo tour and Pit.

Now that I'm in TN I'm a whole hour closer to the show (that puts it at 9 hours instead of a 10-hour drive)
