Idaho Vacation: Gunfighter Skies 2011 Airshow

The Gunfighter Skies 2011 Airshow features the United States Air Force Thunderbirds.  Put Mountain Home Air Force Base on your trip radar for an exciting September weekend and an Idaho vacation.  Best of all, it is free!

The airshow is sponsored by Silver Wings of Idaho, a part of the 366th Fighter Wing, Mountain Home AFB.  The USAF Thunderbirds will be flying on both Saturday September 17 and Sunday September 18, 2011.  Because the air show will be held on a USAF base, security checks will be in place.  Please review the FAQ's on the web site for recommended highway access, security procedures and guidelines, and all other useful information. 

Here is the essential show information:
Gunfighter Skies 2011, Saturday and Sunday September 17-18, 2011, Mountain Home Air Force Base.  Gates open at 8:00am both days.  Web Site: http://www.silverwingsofidaho.org/, Contact Names: Shane Zenner or Paula Riggs, Phone: 208-587-2173. 

As of March 19, 2011, there is not much detail about the show on the web site, more details will be added a bit later in the year. 

Mark September 17-18, 2011 on your calendar, grab some sunscreen, and get ready for a full weekend commemorating the history of airpower and the development of Mountain Home and Mountain Home AFB.  This event will be a great addition to your Idaho vacation plans.
