The 2025 Thunder Over Michigan Air Show returns to Ypsilanti’s Willow Run Airport this weekend.
This year’s air show features the United States Navy Blue Angels and F-22 Raptor Demo Teams. It will also feature a world-class array of aerobatic performers and static displays.
Kevin Walsh is the event director of Thunder Over Michigan. Now in its 27th year, he says the show is the primary fundraiser through private donations for the Michigan Flight Museum, a nonprofit whose mission is educating the public on aviation's role in history.
“This is the event that helps support that museum and what the mission is of the institution, so we're very proud to bring it. We’re very proud to be permanent residents here and support a nonprofit.”
The Thunder Over Michigan Air Show brings an estimated $2.5 to 3 million to the local economy.
The show runs from 10:30 AM through 5 PM Saturday and Sunday.
