Scooter Yoak will fly the Corsair in the Legacy flight and maybe so a small demo. Unless something changes, I don't think Quicksilver will be there but never say never. Class of 45 could add TOM to the schedule.

nice list so I am assuming we will get 3 Growlers flying together since they list 3 and we can't see them on the ground.


As for the growlers, I think three may all fly together but they are from VAQ-129 and that is where the Growler demo team is from. They are all on the list though, so we will see them in the air.

The list is a tad confusing because it has the F-35 demo team slated at the top of the list and also has an F-35 at the bottom from Hill Afb which is the where to demo is from. Se with the T-birds.

Anyway, here is the list so you guys can see what I'm talking about.

Wasn't aware of Scooter being certified to fly a Corsair, just thought he flew the Mustang

Wonder if they'll bring along a F-18 like they did last time ? [If they have any airworthy 18's left that is]

I will be there flying KWH in the Legacy flight however Quick Silver will not be a part of the show. As for the 3 growlers, that's what they travel with and we might fly 2 at a time in the Legacy Flight but it for sure will not be all 3

Re: THUNDER OVER MICHIGAN 2021

I've noticed that the USN Legacy Flights have been flown by Jim Tobul's F4U-4 "Korean War Hero" Corsair, EA-18G Demo team/Growler and a F-35C. Is there a chance that a F-35C could show up and fly the legacy flight, along side the Growler and F4U-4 Corsair?

Question for the B-25 experts: Which of the Mitchells on the list are "Catch-22" movie veterans?

I want to say none of them are? 6 of them are airworthy, but not on this list (7 if you count How Boot That)
