NICE! Great addition for the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain.

North American Aviation P-51D Mustang "Ain’t Misbavin" ... should be North American Aviation P-51D Mustang "Ain't Misbehavin"

Looks like the Me-262 has been scrubbed. No longer on the performers list and no longer in the schedule.

Ba doom ching

all kidding aside, I am glad I got a chance to see it in Hamilton a few years ago. It seems it is canceling more shows that it appears at lately.

Here is a shot I got that weekend:

To the Show Organizers of Thunder over Michigan 2015,
Don't know if the show schedule is set in stone and it is fairly late in the game. But with addition of Military Aviation Museum's Spitfire along with Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum's Lancaster, Military Aviation Museum's Mosquito and that 2015 is the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. What's the chances of doing a 75th anniversary Battle of Britain Iconics flight? Yes, we're missing a hurricane.(which Military Aviation Museum has one) But how many airshows(today in 2015) have a flying Lancaster, Mosquito and a Spitfire? Together??? I know most of the Thunder show goes love history and aviation. How cool would it be to have such a historic formation at your airshow. Plus, during an anniversary year of aviation history! I know the shows theme is "Bombertown USA" , but it would a shame to let such great opportunity go to waste. Know it's easier said than done.


Just food for thought,

The Spitfire is now scheduled instead from the Military Aviation Museum (along with the Mossie and FW-190).

Last Friday I purchased tickets and parking passes, the day before the cut-off for entry in winning prizes at the show.
Have to check my E-mail more often, had a phone call, voice mail today on my way home from work. Redialed the contact number and was informed I and a guest won the Grand Prize, the opportunity to attend the pilots briefing prior to the show. Checked my E-mail and WOW I did win. Will be contacted this coming week for the particulars. Now to buy a Power Ball ticket, win , and I'll bankroll the biggest airshow EVER.

Sorry to see that the Jack Roush P-51B Old Crow is being substituted by the Jack Roush P-51D Gentleman Jim (love the Razorback Mustangs), but overall a very good list.

Looking forward to the show!

Am looking at the Fighter Factory Facebook and a question was posed as to what aircraft will be going to Thunder and was answered that the Mossie, Spitfire and FW190 were going "AND a 4th that is yet to be decided". "The 262 was supposed to go but due to the OPS limits that the FAA has put on it we can't land there". What are "OPS" limits? Long weather predictions for that weekend look good, I'll be there.
