Happy birthday to the Air Force Thunderbirds! While our F-11 is done up in her Blue Angels livery, three of our planes represent previously flown aircraft by the Thunderbirds - the F-84 Thunderstreak, the F-100 Super Sabre, and the F-4 Phantom (which is the only plane to be flown by both the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds!) You can see these three planes and many more on display in our air park!

And join the Grissom Air Reserve Base in August as they host the Grissom Air & Space Expo, which will feature the Thunderbirds in action!

[PATCHY!] Today's unique holiday is "I Need a Patch for That!" Started by Thomas Ruth Roy of Wellcat Holiday and Herbs, they want their fun holidays to celebrate life's many quirky moments and to embrace the whimsy. What better way than with some patches for your coat, backpack, or bulletin board?

The Gift Hangar inside the Grissom Air Museum can help you celebrate today's holiday in style. We carry several small and medium patches that range from the branches to reproductions of patches from different wings, fleets, battalions, and units. They range in price from $5.00 to $7.50 and are available in person at the gift shop. We will add these to our online store by mid-summer.

So grab a patch and celebrate!
