Kentucky Air National Guard's 123 Tactical Airlift Wing will be the host of the display at its base at Louisville International Airport. Keep in mind there is no parking at the base. The main parking lot will be at the UPS lot on Grade Lane. Overflow parking will be available at the Ford Motor Co. Louisville Assembly Plant on Fern Valley Road. Many of the pilots and crews will be available to meet with visitors and answer questions.
Times are approximate, and last-minute changes are possible.
JUMP Eight sky divers open the airshow carrying three American flags and colorful Thunder streamers. They will jump from 5,500 feet onto a barge in front of the Galt House. The Aerial Allstars Skydiving Team, based in Louisville and overseen by Dale Gumm, has performed in every Thunder. This team flies restored T-34 Mentors in several formations, from the six ship wedge and double arrowhead to the basic finger four and diamond. The ''Lima Lima'' name was derived from the FAA designator for Naper Aero Club field, which is LL-10, hence the LL on the tails of their aircraft.
