Nice! Where did you find this? Funny, cause we just had some info from elsewhere about their schedule next season just a few days ago and I also see that the Thunderbirds official website isn't updated yet. Just curious...

3 show sites in Florida next year - sweet! :D
I'd assume Cape Canaveral is actually Patrick's AFB and at the peak of their season too!

I bet our Phoenix crew (Bon, Con & Gunner) are glad they're returning to Luke this year as well!

If you go to the Thunderbirds website, click schedule, and there is a printable schedule down at the bottom. Also, www.schultzairshows.com has the schedules for the Blues, T-Birds, and Snowbirds. Gonna be a HUGE fight/dilema up here, having Davenport (T-Birds) and Rockford (Blues) on the SAME WEEKEND????!!!!????

Its funny, Striker and I were talking last night wondering when the schedules were going to be released. HA! :lol: :lol:

Same as Thunderbirds at Cape Caneveral and the Blues at Jax Beach the same weekend down here! So close, yet so far apart...

Guess I'll catch the Blues at MacDill AFB, FL early in the year instead? Although the Blues were mighty impressive this year at Jax NAS...

FYI, the ICAS Convention is this week and the schedules are released there..

I get to see the TBirds twice this year (McGuire AFB and Atlantic City) and the Blues once at Millville, NJ..

I'm glad that Millville got the Blues this year.. They had bad weather for last year that hurt their numbers pretty bad and they were even contemplating not having the show this year.. The Blues should build their numbers pretty good.

Yeah as Rhino said its kind of frustrating having two of the best shows (Rockford, Quad Cities) in the area both on the same weekend. Unfortuantly I'm most likely gonna miss out the T-Birds this summer unless I do some drivin, but ohh well I got to see alot of the Birds last year at RFD. Maybe next year we can get the Snowbirds :wink: or maybe thats just wishful thinking.

Actually LD and other Floridians, it appears that the show will actually be at KSC. There is a World Space Expo that weekend there, and apparently it will be on the landing facility.
