500-600k people between the two days?

Sounds like a massive traffic jam to me, i hope people are happy watching the air show from their windhsields on I-15.

Traffic Jams? that's why your tax dollars built FrontRunner and UTA is offering a decent deal on shuttle from Clearfield FR station to HAFB.

anyone know times the Thunderbirds are scheduled to perform?

Take Frontrunner and the UTA Shuttle from the Clearfield stop and you can avoid traffic altogether. No windshield required :)

Driving I-15 all day may be the only way to actually see the Thunderbirds perform. What time of day will they be flying? Morning? Afternoon? I understand security for terrorist threats, but not everyone wants to battle the crowds to watch the Thunderbirds fly.

No where in any of the schedules on any of the links do they have a time for who performs when.

Thunderbirds, as well as the other performers, will be very worth the effort of getting to the base. The Thunderbirds typically perform last but I haven't seen a posted agenda yet.

Sunday's schedule | 11:29 p.m. June 2, 2009

What time will the Thunderbirds perform?

Practice starts... | 6:29 a.m. June 3, 2009

This just in... If you're near the base on Friday around 2:30 you will be able to watch them practicing for the show...

Wish I Could Be There | 10:51 a.m. June 3, 2009

Utah native, retired AF, living in San Antonio - really wish I could be there.

If you don't go, you will be missing a GREAT show! Even from anywhere near the base you will be able to see the Thunderbirds rockin' and rollin'!

The C-17 will be doing a demo as well ... The Thunderbirds are impressive, but what they do is expected ... Wait until you see the C-17 in action --- You'll be awed!!!

Thunderbirds will be performing in the afternoon, beginning between 4:00-4:30 pm.

It would be nice to see a schedule of events. I went to the website and you can't find out what time the thunderbirds or the c-17 is performing.
