Thunder Over Michigan 2023
Updated aircraft list. Huge push for military static with the extra ramp space this year continues.

4 F-35B's from Yuma, Stratotanker from the UK, and a few more static warbird trainers. Hearing about a few more F-35's already added, and possibly some company for the UK Stratotanker

Looks like Yankee Lady is done for the year due to maintenance issues.

Major Disappointment:
Air Adventures <[email protected] Sat, Apr 15 at 8:17 AM
Hello,
The Yankee Air Museum decided to proactively cease flight operations of the Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress Yankee Lady. Recent inspections of other B-17Gs have discovered wing spar issues. As a result we expect a mandatory Airworthiness Directive to be issued by the FAA in the next few weeks regarding the matter. Out of an abundance of caution, we are temporarily ceasing our B-17G flight operations and awaiting direction from the FAA regarding necessary inspections and repairs that will be required. It is expected that the B-17G will not fly during the 2023 flying season. Please note that this only affects the B-17.
All other aircraft flight operations are not affected. --What does this mean for your B-17 Air Adventure? This means that we will not be able to fly you on the B-17 this year and are thus fully refunding your order. These refunds will be processed over the next few weeks. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we get through the refunds. Can I fly on other Yankee Air Museum aircraft? Yes! The B-25 Rosie's Reply, C-47 Hairless Joe and Huey Helicopter are still flying this year. If you are interested in flying on these amazing aircraft, please check out our website for more information: https://yankeeairmuseum.org/fly/

I am so tempted to make this trip, but August has something going on every single weekend. The addition of the MiG-23UB is about to put me over the edge to book it, but I'm still not sure. If the Kingsley Eagle were flying, I would be in for sure. I see Friday and Sunday photo passes are still available, so maybe could get the Eagles arrival that day? Just too many unknowns right now to convince me.

Too many unknowns here too. Really wish they could get the flying schedule finalized….hard to pick a show when you don’t even know what is flying and when. Losing interest in this show more and more every year.
