Also two F-16's from Kelly Field Annex Joint Base, TX added! For static I would assume. EDIT: Tom Walsh confirmed they will be static!

ON Thunder's website I discovered something different! Under schedule their's two airshow acts listed. The first being "The Morning Attack" from 10-11:30 and afternoon act being "Feel The Thunder" from 1:30 to 4:30! Anybody have any ideas on what the "Morning Attack" act will be? I assume the usual battle will be involved but that usually lasts a half hour. Any ideas?

I believe some warbirds will fly in the morning, perhaps supporting the ground troops. Clue #1: It's called "AIR SHOW- Act I ". #2: "See what flew in the morning air show and what will fly in the afternoon air show!" when you can access the warbird ramp at noon.

Does anybody know if the museum membership is available for foreigners, too? Or if the groupon deal containing two admission tickets (and one parking ticket) can be used by the same person to access the air show on both days or if both tickets has to be used on the same day?

This is an awesome addition. Always wanted to catch Texas F-16’s - another check off the list!

Does anyone know if there will be any other classic jets there. The 262 is awesome definitely worth the trip alone. Too bad there isn't more German aircraft available .
