We had a chance to catch them land Thursday afternoon.

“Oh, our team talks about Traverse City. Everybody loves coming to Traverse City, everybody loves the Cherry Festival and all the surrounding events, and the people of Michigan are known for their friendliness and we get to go all around the country, but this location is known as one of the great ones,” says Command Leader Jason Heard, U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds.
