Lots of quality announcements in the last week or so. Any show that has a P-47 is ok in my book.

The Commemorative Air Force Dixie Wing's Goodyear FG-1D Corsair has been added.

This is the same Corsair that will be appearing in Battle Creek, Michigan in June/July along with the Helldiver (that is scheduled for Thunder as well) for "Prowlers of the Pacific". Michigan is going to be a good place to be for warbird lovers this summer.

Sure is! Thunder's lineup is looking to be better and better each couple of days! It looks a LOT better than last year's warbird lineup, which makes me excited! Can't wait!

Lovely pic. Would be nice to see some formation flying at TOM. So glad to see a nice assortment of warbirds already scheduled.
