Spring is knocking on our doorstep. I will not miss the cold but I will miss those winter sunsets. This A330 departs CVG for CDG on a cold January evening as DAL98. 7h32m later, this aircraft landed in Paris.

Frankfort well represented in Louisville with the UH-60 Blackhawk in a sporty bank just above the Ohio River. Hard to believe we are only 5 Saturdays away from #thunderoverlouisville

What kind of UPS jet will we get this year? We’ve seen the A300, 757, 767 and 747-8F over the last couple of shows. Maybe we’ll get one last pass from the MD-11? 📸: Thunder Over Louisville 2023 #thunderoverlouisville is just 27 days away. #kyderbyfestival #airbus

April 12th is 12 Days Away Yup. That's it. 12 days till Thunder. Hopefully we're trading in unsettled weather this week for a great day the Saturday after next. We're the 4th stop on the 2025 F-35A Demo Team show schedule. 📸: #ThunderOverLouisville 2023

How many air shows have you been to where an airliner is in the lineup? Based on my experience, it’s a rare treat yet year after year, we get a UPS Airlines cargo jet at Thunder Over Louisville. This 747-8F is helping us count down the 8 days till #thunderoverlouisville 2025

Live around Louisville and looking for something to do this weekend? Come out to Wings for Kids! Our annual RC Airshow has raised over $500,000 in 20+ years all benefitting the local children’s hospital. I’m flying both days so if you are able to make it, let me know!

One of the greatest and accomplished fighter jet pilots of our time is Randy Ball and his MIG-17's. His team is a complete joy to be around and watch. Inside the cockpit views are epic!! #aviaiton #airshow #avgeek #MIG17 #fighterjet
