Thunder Over Michigan 2018: 20 Years of Thunder

[JasonB]

The Thunderbirds are performing in Atlantic City today, so I would expect they should arrive sometime tomorrow. There are several TFR setup tomorrow through Sunday at the airport. There is a TFR tomorrow (Thursday) from 11:50am to 1:00pm

CAF Dixie Wing just announced on FB they are bringing the P-63!

The Thunderbirds arrived earlier, but it sounds like the Me262 will not be making it in this weekend. Bummer!

Seems like whenever that's booked it never shows up. Still a good lineup. Scanners are allowed correct?

Where did this crappy info come from? This would be the 3-4th time since 2006 that a 262 was supposed to come and cancelled.

From reading over the Fighter Factory Facebook page, it sounds like the Me-262 is being fitted with an entirely new braking system. Can't say I'm shocked that it's probably not going to make it. Maybe the museum will be able to send a cool replacement aircraft.

Last minute addition to the line-up at Thunder. The CAF Dixiewing is sending their P-63 Kingcobra in addition to their Corsair and SBD that were previously announced.

Here's a photo of the new layout, courtesy of Doc's Twitter. It really makes clear how far from the runway the line is (1500' certainly) but it's still a massive improvement to make them parallel!

Seems like the majority of aircraft at the show this year will be arriving today. All the modern Military assets aside from a Moody AFB A-10 should be due in today, including F-35’s and F-15’s. Everything else as well.

Hopefully everyone can grab some awesome shots of arrivals. I’m in show grounds today so i’ll let everyone know how the set up is for the show!

Hearing from Air Ops that the Texas F-16’s canceled. C-2 canceled & A-10’s from Selfridge cancelled.
