Thunder Over Michigan Aug 29-30, 2015

Yankee Air Museum wished everyone a Happy Aviation Day (Aug 19) today, ahead of the US Navy Blue Angels and the rest of the Thunder performers coming to Ypsilanti, Michigan next weekend. Aviation Day honours the anniversary of Orville Wright's birthday and was proclaimed in 1939 by American President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
"See rare classic military aircraft. With just over a week until showtime, our birds are getting geared up to put on a phenomenal show!

This year's show features some of the most well-known warbirds to ever take to the sky, such as the de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito and Focke-Wulf FW-190. The de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito is a British multi-role combat aircraft with a two-man crew that served during and after WWII. The Focke-Wulf FW-190 is a German single-seat, single-engine fighter aircraft designed by Kurt Tank in the late 1930s."
