It's been three years since the last Grand Junction air show, and thirteen years since the Thunderbirds last appeared in Grand Junction.

Clay Tufly, president of Grand Junction Air Show, said "there will be many new acts at this show along with favorite military performers and static displays."

You'll notice this  ear's show is just two days instead of the typical three-day event. Tickets for the event will be available in the near future.
