I have a question. What area were you guys sitting at Thunder Over Michigan?

[AirshowStuffVideos]

@NighthawkBlackbird We were sitting in the general admission area to the left of show center. Usually a large group of us meet up and sit together in a photo pit.

are the p-51s using blanks?

[AirshowStuffVideos]

@BossHossGT500 Nope, all of the gunfire sounds are coming from the ground reenactors.

[AirshowStuffVideos]

@MikeLenoch5 The gunfire from the reenactors on the ground, of course!

@AirshowStuffVideos Something about it sounded inauthentic... Maybe because it was from afar.
