United States - Michigan - Thunder Over Michigan 2010 - Belleville - 08/07/10

[michael luther]

We are very excited to announce, Thunder over Michigan 2010 will feature The Worlds Largest WWII Air & Ground Battle Reenactment. The battle will kick off with a Me-109 and Me-262 in formation, buzzing multiple German flak gun positions as their crews look on. Once the German fighters depart, the flak crews scramble to their guns as a formation of B-17s appear on their way to a distant target. A lone B-24 approaches pursued by the Me-262, as the Me-109 attempts to jump the B-17 formation in the distance. Once it looks like the Germans control the battle, multiple P-51s arrive to engage the Me-109 and Me-262 as American ground units arrive to engage the flak crews and other German ground units.

Is there going to be as much GA seating as there was last year?

Fingers are severely crossed for the owner of Fuddy Duddy to let her out of southern California and attend the show.

The Vintage Flying Museum has TOM on the schedule which should mean Chuckie is coming.

The crowd line will be a little shorter, due to no jet team.
