Re: Dover AFB Open House & Airshow/Thunder Over Dover 2022

A heads up for those planning to go on Saturday. Be sure to drink plenty of gatorade and water as the temperature on Saturday is expected to be around 92. I'm stunned at the temperature forecasted, 93F and it keeps rising, then we're in the 60s Monday, crazy. Now I'm worried about my 75yo Father wa...

I would assume it's the same as the museum entrance, which is off of Route 9 (Exit 91 from DE-1, both directions).

I watched video of one they had at a previous Dover show and it was done as if they were rescuing someone from the roof of a building.

Re: Dover AFB Open House & Airshow/Thunder Over Dover 2022

Does anyone know if the Air Mobility Command Museum will be open during the airshow on Saturday, May 21st? If so, will there be transportation provided between the museum and the airshow site? Ideally, I would like to visit the museum before the aerial performances begin but I'm not sure if it will...

Re: Dover AFB Open House & Airshow/Thunder Over Dover 2022

Also, for anyone coming down and looking for a place to stay... the city of Dover has a very limited number of hotels and most seem to be in questionable parts of the city. There are places to stay if you look in either direction (Smyrna, Harrington, Seaford, Georgetown, and of course the three majo...

Re: Dover AFB Open House & Airshow/Thunder Over Dover 2022

My fiancee and I live about 45 minutes from the base and the quick answer is no. There is a road that runs on the south end of the base (Delaware Route 9) and there's lots of No Stopping signs spaced near the runway that goes by there. On our last trip down there we met a really nice photographer fr...

Re: Best Show to visit recommendations

I would definitely suggest Dover, especially considering seeing both of our teams in one fell swoop. There is a museum on base and you all could go there for one day and catch a practice airshow in the process. As for others, I'm not one with many, many years of airshow attendance under my belt. A b...

Re: Dover AFB Open House & Airshow/Thunder Over Dover 2022

How do they usually work it when they have both the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds at the same show? Do they fly back to back? One in the morning one in the afternoon? I've seen both plenty of times but never had the chance to see them at the same show. I was one of the fortunate ones to go to Andrew...

Re: Dover AFB Open House & Airshow/Thunder Over Dover 2022

We happened to be doing some stuff in Dover the other day so we made another trip down to the museum. Again, it was worth the visit, and we were even treated to a C-5 doing touch and goes while we were there. After we left we went to Walmart and saw someone in a flight suit and with a patch from the...
