Air Force Thunderbirds Flying in Missouri This Weekend
If you love airshows, one of the best will be taking place this Saturday and Sunday (May 1 and 2) in St. Joseph, Missouri. This year’s “
Speed of Sound” airshow will be held this weekend at Rosecrans Memorial Airport in St. Joseph and will feature an appearance by the United States Air Force Thunderbirds.
The flying exhibitions will begin at noon with the Thunderbirds flying sometime after 3 pm both days. If you have never been to St. Joseph, Missouri the drive is just 210 miles across Missouri on U.S. Highway 36. For local airshow enthusiasts this weekend’s show is the closest show to Quincy that the Thunderbirds will perform this year.
