LOUISVILLE, Ky. — For the first time in over 20 years, fans will get a up-close and personal look at some of the planes that flew over Louisville in the Thunder Air Show.
The Planes of Thunder Static Display will be at the Kentucky Air National Guard Base in the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The display is in honor of the 75th anniversary of the Air Force and the Air National Guard.
Guests will be able to get an up-close look at select military aircraft from the Thunder Air Show, as well as meet the crew who fly them.
“This year’s air show will showcase many aircraft we have not seen here at Thunder,” said Lt. Colonel Josh Ketterer, director of operations for the 165th Airlift Squadron and director of air operations for Thunder Over Louisville.
“It is the pleasure of the Kentucky Air National Guard and Kentucky National Guard to serve our community in any way, and Thunder is a special way for us to do that.”
