Thunder Over Michigan Aug 3 4 5

Unread post by Elvis Presley » July 30th, 2012, 8:04 pm

Just a quick note for all those close enough to Willow Run Airport to bring your military vehicles and come hang out!!

They're really cool with re-enactors, so dress up in your favorite duds (OG-107s would be just fine) and drive your vehicle right in. There's lots to see and lots of vehicles to check out.
(Even if you're not registered, just drive right in like you know what you're doing and find the MUTTs and 6X6s...)

I'm thinking about bringing a Vietnam era tent (squad) and putting it up and perhaps showing off some stuff with my MUTT.

Stop on by and we'll have a good time !!!

UPDATE: Go to the Thunder over Michigan website - register for the event and go from there. You and a grew member get in for FREE as well as all your kids under 14. I have permission to set up the squad tent and so can you !! Bring your vehicles and show them off !!! Also, if you're available Friday night at 6:30pm there's a convoy into Bellville. It's cool to run your MV, but it's really cool to run with a whole bunck of them !!

I'm thinking about bringing my two year old son, my wife and I have been going for years but she's 8 months pregnant and i'm not putting a car seat in the 151 :lol: I'll look for a dude with big side burns and an M151 :wink:

I should wear my Elvis jumpsuit - but I think that's not the correct venue for it...

Cool hope to see you there!!
