Re: Northern Illinois Airshow 2023

Does anyone know when the A-10s and Growlers will be showing up? Do they usually come in on Thurs or Fri?

We saw a TON of T-38's at Glenview when it was still open. Every weekend you were usually able to catch at least one or multiple 38's arriving and departing.
