Thunder of Niagara Airshow 2018- Thursday and Friday ArrivalsHello everyone! Welcome to this video!

Here we are at the second show of the year; Thunder of Niagara Airshow 2018! Me and a friend of mine decided way in advance to do the arrivals on Thursday and Friday and the practice on Friday prior to the show and that was honestly one of the best decisions we ever made cause this show was full of action from the get go!

Wednesday yielded three arrivals that I wasn’t there for being Thunderbird #8, USAF F-15E Strike Eagle and the USAF C-5 Galaxy unfortunately, which I was really looking forward to catch! But Thursday and Friday had some amazing stuff which I cannot put into writing or else this description would be way too long so I’ve added some times below of all the action coming in so you can skip ahead to the action of your choice 😉
