366th Fighter Group Association

Air Show

Both the Saturday and Sunday Air Shows featured spectacular aerobatics, flybys and a heritage flyby of a P-51 and an F-15, along with precision parachute demonstrations by the U.S. Army's Golden Knights "Black" team. 

Thunderbird Crash

The U.S.A.F. Thunderbirds were scheduled to be the final performance of the Sunday show.  Unfortunately during the first maneuver by Thunderbird 6, the aircraft crashed.  The pilot ejected less than 1/2 second before the plane hit the ground and survived with minor injuries.  This brought the Air Show to a premature if not spectacular end with an unplanned demonstration of Air Force firefighting capability.
