Wow, I cannot remember the last time the Blues last came to Andrews.

Awesome they are coming back to town! Can't wait to see them in August at the Abbotsford Airshow!

Wow, two out of three within 1 hour driving distance from my house and back-2-back. Lakeland is only 20 minutes away from where I live. I wonder if the Tbirds will be staying in Florida for the whole time? I might have to find out!

What's the source of the schedule Rhino? The Thunderbird website hasn't been updated yet...

You have the memory of an old senile man. They were there in 2006 with the Snowbirds.

AirShowBuzz got ahold of these as they were being announced this morning at the ICAS convention. The Blues schedule has yet to be announced as the Secretary of the Navy has not signed off on it yet. Makes me think they are going places this year outside of the continent. We shall see.

Don't quote me, and this is shooting from the hip and not knowing the Blues schedule, but the Blues may be making a Nellis appearance in November...

Awesome, three dates in Texas this year. I try to make Wings Over Houston annually so I will see them there for sure. I might even try to make the season opener in San Angelo!!! The minimum drive for all of my "local" airshows is 5 hours...argh...

Bummer for me. I will need to travel some this year to see them. None here in sunny AZ.

I feel sorry for you guys. I get 3 T-Birds shows all within a 3 hour drive. (Rockford, Milwaukee, Scott AFB)

I win!!!

A twenty minute drive to LAL, then an hour to TPA and five hours for Tyndall. Not to forget the Blues either with four hours driving to FLL and a two hour drive to JAX seeing as the Blues will be at those two show sites for sure, despite their schedule not being out yet.
