| Thunder Over Michigan 2008 Just checked their website and am happy to see that the Messerschmitt Bf-109E "White 14" from the Russell Group and the Canadian Avro Lancaster will once again be at this year's show along with several P-47s. I was at the 2006 show when it was there and the sound of its Daimler engine is extremely different than the sound of other period warbirds engines. I will be attending this year again, will anyone else be there? | |||||||||||||

Reason: Addition
I was there in 2004, 2006 and 2007. If it is the smaller show like it was in 2006 - I will make the trip. If it is the big, commercial blow out like last year, I will pass. That mock WWII battle in 2006 with the P-47/P-51 jabo runs was probably one of the coolest airshow events that I have ever seen. I sure hope they do that again! | |||||||||||||

This was a big topic last year and if you search the airshow catagory I think you'll find some more similar opinions. Yes, I'll go too but only if it's small and I can sit under the B-52 | |||||||||||||

| Re: Thunder Over Michigan 2008 I'll be there. First time I'll be leaving my own state to go to an airshow, and it IS in Michigan, but what can I tell you.......sounds like a great time, and should only take around three hours or so to get there. Can't pass up the chance to see a 109 flying, etc. Never seen a Sopwith 1-1/2 Strutter before either. Anybody know if the Fokker Tripes and the Sopwith have real rotary engines? | |||||||||||||
