Thunderbirds!

[Cheddarhead]

Saw an ad in the paper that there is an Airshow this weekend in Rockford...including the Thunderbirds.

They even had a coupon for FREE Admission on Friday night...and $5 admission for Saturday or Sunday.  Interestingly, the free/reduced admission is "supposed to be" for WI residents only.  Regular admission is $10 on Friday, $15 on Sat/Sun.

Guess they're not "feeling the love" for our Illinois, Minnesota, and Iowa brethren...

Anybody going?

Work near the airport.  Have to drive around it twice every day.  They close the road because the air show that I use to get to and from work starting tomorrow.  But I have to pay full price.

That sucks.

But yea I'm going and will pay full price.

Send me a scanned copy of the coupon please.

Thanks

Send me a scanned copy of the coupon please.

Thanks

Will see if can find a scanner around here...

For what it's worth, I found the coupon in this mornings' Milwaukee Journal-Sentinal.  Don't know if they have a "virtual coupon" on their website...JSOnline.

Send me a scanned copy of the coupon please.

Thanks

I've got a copy of the coupon scanned in as a jpeg file.  Send me a PM with your email address and I reply with the file attached.  Too dumb to figure out how to do it here...

 Nice show today. As usual, the T-birds let everyone down, couldn't fly because of weather. Here are some pics of the other acts that flew.............











 There's approximately 700 more where these came from for those who want to know.

I'm on the N.E. end of Rockford, and I could hear several of the planes through the day. Won't be able to make it to the show though, damn yard work!

Gorgeous shots!  (I'm a private pilot and airplane nut as well.)

My buddy and I were there Saturday. The Thunderbirds rocked! They blasted in the midst of an oncoming thunderstorm as well as a tornado warning! We quickly hit the road after the performance and made it 5 min from my house bone dry. Then at the intersection of rt.31 & rt.176, the skies opened up and all hell broke lose. We got drenched!

got to see some of the show the last two days from the roof of my house off state st.  made cleaning the gutters and repairing a leak more interesting

The Sport Pilot License is a decent option now if you can find a Light Sport plane to train in/rent.  Though with the cost of gas, It's even harder to justify flying these days.
