This from kokomotribune.com:
BUNKER HILL, IN – The Grissom Air and Space Expo scheduled for the weekend of Sept. 7 at Grissom Air Reserve Base is anticipated to bring up to 90,000 people to the military installation for the two-day flying extravaganza. The show will be the biggest event to hit the base since the last air show there in 2003, which drew an estimated 60,000 people per day over the weekend. The headlining act this year will be the Thunderbirds – the U.S. Air Force’s premier aerial demonstration team. The U.S. Army’s aerial demonstration team The Golden Knights will also appear, along with many other civilian and military planes. Grissom has been preparing for the event since June. Lots of that planning has centered on basic logistical concerns such as parking, water and portable toilets. A team from Grissom even attended the International Council of Air Shows in Las Vegas in December to start taking early steps towards making the Grissom Air and Space Expo a reality. Last month, members of the Thunderbirds team traveled to the base to prepare for the upcoming show by taking tours of the facilities and meeting planning team members. More details on the Grissom Air and Space Expo coming soon.
