THUNDER OVER MICHIGAN 2021

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

The two most likely to show is “breifing time” from the MAAM or “berlin express” from EAA

Correct, God & Country and Heavenly Body are stretches.

If you are still trying to decide, morning or afternoon and you are not targeting a particular aircraft, Michigan in August can be humid as heck and afternoon cloud buildup diminishes photographic opportunities, not to mention pop up thunderstorms with heavy rain being frequent happenings.

FYI

[Xray]

Rain is always possible, in 2 decades + might have had a couple of rainouts, AUG tends to be hot and dry [what is up with all these popups here lately ?]

Governor Whitmer is lifting all COVID restrictions July 1st. I wonder if/how that'll impact TOM.

For the Covid restrictions, not much should change unfortunately.

But, there is a pretty solid military lineup and how many Mitchells? 13?

Things should change slightly, for the better. 13 Mitchells, plenty more to come.

A new email was sent out moments ago from the Yankee Air Museum/ Thunder Over Michigan email stating that they'll allow the public to enjoy:
Static Aircraft Displays
A chance to meeet the warbird pilots
Etc.
Does that mean everything will now be parked on the East Ramp at Willow Run, instead of the West Ramp, where they originally planned to park everything?

Should be the case, yes

[kalamazookid]

Great news! It will be nice to look at the B-25s. I'm assuming the ramp will probably have to close by a certain time to expedite the arrival/departure process for both shows but I will certainly take a limited time to look over some of the aircraft.
