USAF Thunderbirds.
Attendees are encouraged to utilize Sun Tran service direct to the air show
entrance. Parking on base is limited and will require excessive walking to
the air show entrance. Parking on installation and admission is free.
Handicap parking available on base. Refreshments and souvenir items will be
available for a nominal fee.
