Thunder over Michigan - August 5 & 6, 2006

Tue Feb 14, 2006 9:36 am

Fine, I can't hold out a day more!

Who is going or hopes to go this year? I'm hoping but some detail need to be worked out still.

The line up of the Able Dogs is too much not to be there.
and the Spits I guess :roll: :wink:

I have sent off my payment for the photo pit passes for Saturday. Our hotel is book for the Friday and Saturday nights. Will consider the symposium when detaials are announced, but we are already paying for the pit passes which is about the same cost as the symposium. So maybe not. I may try to convince Catherine to stick around for Sunday, so maya no-go on the symposium. We missed a big WIX dinner/meet last year after the show because we went to the symposium. So I guess you could say I am still a little undecided.

I plan on being there. We are finalizing plans now for bringing up the Grumman Tracker.

Expect me inside a Focke-Wulf.

I want to go but the new job will probably be an issue, I'll have to wait till it gets closer before I can know for sure. I will however be attending Geneseo even if I have to quit this job. :)

I'll be there again too.

Can't wait!

:wink:

I'm making my plans now to attend again. Not sure if the 'wife' will be accompanying me, we have to see about her work schedule. Looks like I will miss Geneseo though, I have this 'honeymoon' or something to do instead, as we are getting married July 1st!

I'll definitely be there again. This will be my 5th year. Every year it seems I leave thinking "How can they top this next year?" and every year they do. I've never seen a Spitfire fly, so I'm really looking forward to that, plus all the Skyraiders which are my personal favorites. Can't wait!

KalamazooKid, are you going to Elkhart this year also?

I've got to agree big time with Kalamazoo Kid, as this will be my 4th show, and each year I scratch Oshkosh by Gosh off my schedule to go to Thunder instead. While I've seen quite a few different Spitfires flying in the past, the lineup is just too impressive not to go. Rumor floated around last year that this year might be more of "just another air show" but fortunately the YAM museum has pulled this one off again, in spite of the tragic fire.

I put in for it last week on my vacation schedule at work. Made my reservations at a local Hotel for Friday night, count me in. :D

I'm planning on being there again. Last year I was kinda disappointed because I could only stop for about 2 hours as a "pit stop" on the way to Chicago for vacation. :D

Talked to my boss and it shouldn't be a problem to take the days off so I am GOING! Fair warning, I am bringing a video camera and podcasting gear!

Looks like I'll be in the photo tour & pit for Saturday with you Mike. I just need to send my money in.

Looks like a great line up! I can't wait.
