To my knowledge, it is at the base. The shuttles drop you off at the front of the parking lot where everyone enters last I remember. But I would leave some room for creative "planning" that the Army might throw in to that sequence. :lol:

Any word on practices? I can't make the show this weekend, but would love to catch the practice if it is Friday?

I feel like I can largely guarantee there'll be practices Friday. As for times, I'd say things likely kick off at/around 10am as a decent rule of thumb.

Thank you. I'll leave BC early morning Friday, and park nearby the base somewhere. Tora Tora Tora probably won't be up there, but pretty sure The Thunderbirds will go up, since they are having a show for military and their families.

This is a decent spot to be if you can’t get on base. Hopefully the businesses don’t bitch, but I’ve hung out there for past shows.

112th St S can be good for arrivals too. You have to find a place to park and walk along to the end of the runway.

Thunderbirds just finished a session. It was weird that it was only a four ship demonstration though.

For those looking for shuttle transport into the show, I previously stated that I had taken one from the station near the Tacoma Dome, but it appears there is a different layout to transportation this year.
