PHOENIX — The Thunder and Lightning Over Arizona Open House and Airshow has been rescheduled for November 6-7 due to COVID-19.
The bi-annual event was previously scheduled for April 24-25 at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and is free to attend, according to a release by the U.S. Air Force.
“We felt it was prudent in light of the current COVID-19 conditions to reschedule. We remain committed to our duty to keep our Airmen, families and neighbors in Tucson safe from the threat of contracting COVID-19,” Col. Joseph Turnham, 355th Wing commander, said.
Participants in the airshow include the U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron, the Thunderbirds and the A-10 Thunderbolt II Demonstration Team.
