The Thunderbirds were supposed to be the headliners for day two at Thunder on the Rock. Unfortunately, thick fog had other ideas and they never got off the ground. Luckily, we stayed late enough on Saturday so we got to see their arrival and an abbreviated performance that evening before landing. Shortly after the Thunderbirds were on the ground, two support C-130s from Niagra Falls IAP, NY arrived.
