Interested to see Tyndall on the schedule for the end of March, I wonder if the base will be ready to host after all the damage sustained from the hurricane.

Yeah, I would certainly think they would cancel it given the completely devastated infrastructure (including base facilities for servicing the aircraft). I can't imagine they'd rather spend manpower on a show vs. rebuilding.

The Thunderbirds have added Traverse City to their schedule in place of the Rhode Island Airshow, which canceled.

FYI the Thunderbirds have told me that the addition of Traverse City is not officially approved yet. It was added to their site by mistake and has been removed (for now?). At their request, I'll be taking our post down until it is official.

Thanks

Huntington Beach was just announced via the Thunderbirds instagram page.

This is a result of the recent cancellation on the Puerto Rico show on October 4-6.
