I'm assuming the Bat Mobile will also be there? They both come together every year at Sun N Fun. It doesn't have the bat wings on the Batcopter.

An F-18F Super Hornet from the West Coast Demo Team has been confirmed for Thunder. Watch the slots for the Photo Tour/Photo Pit disappear in the next several weeks.

Cheers,

As he said, the Super Hornet "Demo Team." The Navy has two tac demo teams flying at select air shows this year, the Super Hornet Team and the Legacy Hornet Team. I am hoping that we may get some vintage Naval jet and/or prop warbirds at Thunder to allow the possibility of a "Tailhook Legacy Flight."

At this point, Thunder will have a "USN Legacy Flight" and a "USAF Heritage Flight". Not sure which warbirds will be utilized for either one.

72% of the Friday Taxiway Photography, Saturday and Sunday Photo Tour/Photo Pit passes are sold.
