We will have to get a WIX meeting organized.

I think we need to make a large WIX banner and stick it up on poles.

So, is there a CONFIRMED list of AC somewhere that have signed on the line and should be there, excluding unforeseen circumstances? Conjecture is fine and good.......but what is black and white?! Really sounds like it is shaping up to be THE place to be this summer!

All the aircraft that are listed in the first post of this thread are confirmed, and done deals.

Michael, If there are any airworthy Focke Wulf 190s in the United States, could we possibly see one at TOM 2010 with the ME-262 and ME-109?

We are talking to Don Hansen about attending, but we are not sure if it is possible yet.

We are very excited to announce, Thunder over Michigan 2010 will feature The Worlds Largest WWII Air & Ground Battle Reenactment. The battle will kick off with a Me-109 and Me-262 in formation, buzzing multiple German flak gun positions as their crews look on. Once the German fighters depart, the flak crews scramble to their guns as a formation of B-17s appear on their way to a distant target. A lone B-24 approaches pursued by the Me-262, as the Me-109 attempts to jump the B-17 formation in the distance. Once it looks like the Germans control the battle, multiple P-51s arrive to engage the Me-109 and Me-262 as American ground units arrive to engage the flak crews and other German ground units.

Michael and Kevin the reenactment sounds amazing, IMO this is what makes Thunder stand out from the other Warbird air shows. Not sure who owns this AC ( someone here will now ), but this rep. Storch but it would make a fine addition to the battle. This AC has been at the VWoC open house the last 2 years.

Cheers Dave C
