Thunder Over Michigan Air Show
About this event
A world-class air show featuring historic aircraft and modern military demonstrations.
What to Expect
- 1.Arrive early to stake out a solid viewing spot on Willow Run's expansive tarmac, and keep an eye on the official flight schedule since demonstrations pop up in short bursts.
- 2.The crowd is there for aviation, so expect a mix of families and air enthusiasts, and ear protection is a must for you and any kids with you.
- 3.Food and drink options exist but lines can be long; bring lightweight snacks and a filled water bottle and plan to refuel between show segments.
- 4.Parking at an airport venue means long walks from lots to the gates, so wear comfortable shoes and consider a small backpack for gear like hats, sunscreen, and ear protection.
- 5.If you are new to air shows, check for restroom locations and exits ahead of time, set a meeting spot with a friend if you bring someone, and consider bringing a light jacket for any breeze on the tarmac.
