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 Andrews AFB a few years ago when both were there. I can't remember who flew first on the first day but one went at noon (I think it was the Blues) and the other closed out the show at 3. They were flipped on the second day, but that day's show was canceled due to rain. That one day was awesome. I know they've done it in Atlantic City but I was living on the other side of the country at the time, and of course all the times they did it last year.

That is exactly how it will work. One around noon and the other one closing then reversed for the Sunday edition.
Practice day is interesting as you will see some two-seaters flying with back seaters in yellow or red, white and blue helmets.
I would be surprised and overjoyed if they actually got together in that super delta.

Plans right now are for the USAF Thunderbirds to be the final act each day of the event. This is a 75th Anniversary of the USAF Event so it is fitting that at a USAF Base and for that Anniversary that the Thunderbirds are the finale.
We are working on one more BIG thing to finalize the show on Sunday.

One of my friends who's close to Langley AFB said there's a good chance we get an F22 as static, how true is that?

Is the B-2 flyover still on Saturday? Would be my first time seeing one so I’m looking forward to it. Also will be my first time seeing the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds at a show together. Was at the 2018 Andrews show but the Thunderbirds were delayed because of rain and I had to leave.

Is Harrier demo still on? Looks like may be one of last public demos ever before retirement.

I think so, it’s still listed as a performer on the shows website. Will be my first time seeing a Harrier demo as well so that’ll be cool
