Great Uncle Ken!
Kyle was on the road all month learning how to fly upside down as #5... and the only one who managed to get a visit was Uncle Ken! At 94 years old, Uncle Ken also showed up to the final show of the 2021 season making him the most dedicated fan of the year. Thanks Uncle Ken!

VIP Ticket Information
The Thunderbirds get free VIP tickets to give to family & friends attending airshows! Because tickets are limited, we've set up a ticket request system. If you know what shows you want to go to, put your name on the list! We will try our best to get everyone their requested tickets, but sometimes we can't fufill them all.VIP tickets get you:
- Access to the airshow
- Access to the Thunderbird Friends & Family Tent (has shade, water, and seating)
- Free VIP parking (sometimes)
We won't have the tickets in hand until a few days prior to the show. For ticket pick-up, we will coordinate a time for you to pick them up or leave them at our hotel's front desk.Links to the ticket request forms are on the schedule below.
