Thunder Over Michigan 2010

Kevin Walsh anounced the theme to next years show last week over on ASB. "The Gathering of Fortresses and Legends.....The Final Mission". The dates are Aug 7-8. He also mentioned that the WW2 battle will include all B-17's, several Mustangs, Ed Russels BF-109 and posibly the Collings Foundation ME-262 .


This was suggested by someone on WIX, Mike Luther (one of the organizers) said that this was what they were thinking of doing, but with smaller flak guns.
Quote:
Get all of the available German 88's on the ground as the formation passes over then make another pass where the formation gets jumped by the 262 and 109 as the Mustangs go after them. Then have the Mustangs make dive bombing runs on the 88's as the infantry comes in and tries to take them out as well.
Should be another great show!!!!

Money, what's that? That stuff seems to flow out of my bank account faster that it goes in lately.
I think instead of a big hunting trip next year I may head to this show instead. Been wanting to go for a few years now, and really wanted to go a couple years ago when they had a multitude of P-47's on hand.

Cool, I've seen John Mohr perform in his Stearman a couple times and it is amazing what he can do with that aircraft.
