Hello, hello!
This year's dates for the Thunder Over Michigan Air Show and Battle Reenactment will be August 9-10, 2014. The theme will be WWII Army Air Force. The battles will all be WWII ETO. You can check out the airshow website at the following link... http://www.yankeeairmuseum.org/airshow/
You can also check out the show's facebook page at: http://www.facebook.com/ThunderOverM...ref=ts&fref=ts
Setup will begin Thursday, August 7 at 1:00pm. Again, setting up Thursday is not mandatory, just an option for those that would like an additional day to hang out, set up displays, etc.
We've got a new change to the encampment/display area. We had a great turnout for the Vietnam theme last year and we would like to keep that going. Vietnam/Cold War era vehicles and reenactors of the same era will have their own section in the encampment area. The vehicles, displays, and reenactors all together really looked awesome last year. I can't wait to see it all again!
For those of you unfamiliar with the show, Thunder Over Michigan is an annual airshow put on by the Yankee Air Museum at Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti, Michigan. It incorporates a spectacular array of WWII-Present aircraft and also a series of large battle reenactments. The reenacting portion, in addition to the battles, includes an encampment for period displays, military vehicles, etc.
The event is free of charge for reenactors and military vehicle owners/crew. There is camping on site in the encampment area during the event. Any tents used should military and period correct. If not, they will have to be stowed and out of sight during show hours. Lunch will be provided for registered participants on Saturday and Sunday.
For those of you interested in participating with the Friday evening convoy and parade take note of the following times: 5:00pm convoy form-up, 5:30pm convoy departs Willow Run, 6:30 parade begins in Belleville, 7:45pm depart Belleville.
Please feel free to pass along this information to anyone who may be interested in attending or participating in Thunder Over Michigan 2014.
