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?

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
