Thunder producer Wayne Hettinger said the show itself will adapt well in the age of COVID-19. The fireworks will be less about sound, and more about color.

Before the fireworks go off, the air show will run from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. A couple of the planes set to take part dropped out on Wednesday morning after an air base had to shut down because of the pandemic.

But Hettinger says he doesn't scare easily.

"I mean that's what we've dealt with for 32 years," he said. "You make changes up until the last minute. This year was certainly no exception. There's been a tremendous amount of change, and a lot of head scratching going on."

New to the show this year are synchronized drones. Each will have lights, do maneuvers, and create designs like the American flag.

Does anyone have a good spot for Photographing on the approach or for take offs ? I am assuming they will use Runway 24. Is there anywhere to park near those places ? Any intel would be appreciated.

Parking around the airport is restricted. Parking is available at the park and neighborhood streets. Can’t imagine what might be going on. Covid rules prevent public gatherings so what could it be?????
