Attention!

Our theme this year is "20 Years of Thunder"! The date for Thunder Over Michigan 2018 is August 25-26.

Setup is available as early as Friday, August 24 at 8:00am. Participant check-in will be available 10am-4:30pm Friday and 8am-4:30pm on Saturday & Sunday.

All four reenactment battles will be themed around WWII, ETO in France during the summer of 1944.We again plan to hold a weapons demo in the encampment area. It has consistently been a big hit with spectators. We will again need some volunteers that want to show off their weapons and pop off a few rounds.

The Military Vehicle Collectors Club of Michigan (MVCCMI), a local MVPA affiliate, will again be providing support with the military vehicle portion of the show.

**Specific information regarding the battles, convoy, town battle, etc. will be updated in the near future.You can also check out the show's facebook page at: facebook.com/groups/ThunderOverMichiganBattles

For those of you unfamiliar with the show, Thunder Over Michigan is an annual airshow put on by the Yankee Air Museum at Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti, Michigan. It incorporates a spectacular array of WWII-Present aircraft and also a series of large battle reenactments. The reenacting portion, in addition to the battles, includes an encampment for period displays, military vehicles, etc.

The event is free of charge for historical reenactors and military vehicle owners/crew. There is camping on site in an encampment area during the event. The encampment display area is open to all eras of 20th century military vehicles and historical reenactors. Displays are encouraged. Campfires will be allowed. Any tents used should be military style. If not, they will have to be stowed and out of sight during show hours. Travel trailers or RV's will not be allowed into our encampment/display area, but arrangements can be made with the Wayne County Fairgrounds located 1/4 mile from the airport.

Lunch from the WWII field kitchen will be provided for registered participants on Saturday and Sunday. Remember to bring your own mess kit, silverware, and canteen cup!

If you have any questions, comments or concerns please feel free to post here or to PM me.
