Thanks for the updates Kevin and Michael, looking forward to my fourth attendance to this great show. It makes up for my not being able to attend the POF show at Chino in May, just south of me, due to other commitments ............Roger

We must limit politicians to two terms:
one in office and one in jail.

Any chance the Spence family might show up with the swordfish. I remember they flew in several years ago, before the days of thunder.(aka "bomber roundup")

The Swordfish is still high on our "wants list".
We will have to see how everything shakes out as we get closer to the show.
Regards,
Kevin

Kevin, you better make up your mind on the Swordfish pretty quickly. They'll have to leave next week if you expect them to get to Thunder on time !

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. you've been Busy. I would come for the skyraiders alone! I may never make it to Oshkosh again if you guys keep this up . Hey are we going to have a New England to YIP Caravan this year? Also I am on a Airshow commity for the Barn ANG base. We are trying to get someone like Travolta. We have a F/A 18 ride waiting for him.

Kevin, thanks for the update.....

JUST TO LET EVERYONE KNOW - THE LIMITED NUMBER OF PHOTO TOUR/PHOTO PIT PASSES FOR THUNDER OVER MICHIGAN 2006 ARE OVER 50% SOLD.

SATURDAY, TO THIS POINT, IS THE MOST REQUESTED OF THE TWO DAYS.

TO SECURE YOUR SPOT, GO TO www.yankeeairmuseum.org AND CLICK ON "PHOTO TOUR" FOR ORDERING DETAILS.

CHEERS,
TOM WALSH.

If last year is any indication, I think there are more planes on the ramp on Sunday morning than there are on Saturday morning (since some tend to arrive during the day on Saturday, but most stick around until at least late Sunday afternoon). So don't be scared away from getting that Sunday morning pass, people.

Or be like me...get a pass each day. That way I have an "insurance policy" if it rains one day. If it's nice both days, then you can be more leisurely about taking photos.

But let's hope for good weather and those beautiful "popcorn" clouds that make the photos all the more interesting.

I'm happy to see the T-Bolts are making a return to Thunder this year...even if it's "only" Hun Hunter and Wicked Wabbit. I just can't get enough of those beasts.

Any other jets planned this year, besides the MIG-17? My avatar shows my favorite plane from last year, FYI. Despite the impressive lineup of bombers in '05, I fell in love with the Ed Shipley's F-86.

We will be posting another update soon on the web site. No new vintage jets yet, however, you never know how things are going to shake out. It appears we are in the running for another ACC demo this year, so that will bring some extra "thunder" to the line-up.
