Thunder Over Cedar Creek Lake returns Saturday, July 4.
The air show features vintage aircraft performing dog-fighting simulations, fly-bys, acrobatics and the awesome power of military jet fighters ascending in flight.
The show can be viewed from the shores of Cedar Creek Lake in certain areas and from boats anchored on the lake. Promoters bill it as one of the largest air shows in the United States.
The show honors and benefits military personnel with proceeds going to the Cedar Creek Lake Veterans Foundation.
The benefit will include the Golf Classic at the Pinnacle Golf and Boat Club, Mabank. Participants may form a 4-person team, or play individually on this challenging course.
Participants will include the general public, former military members and currently serving military members and honored guests.
George P. Bush, and soldiers who were recovering at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, are scheduled to attend.
The golf tournament will benefit The Fisher House, Hope for the Warriors, The Navy Marine Corps Relief Society and Thunder Over Cedar Creek Lake.
Tickets can be purchased for the Pilot Party to be held on Friday, July 3. The purpose of this party is to allow air show supporters to meet and greet with pilots, get autographs, take pictures and see exciting videos of planes that will be performing.
There are VIP tickets available, via charitable donations of $50 to the Cedar Creek Veterans Foundation (CCVF). VIP seating is located on the private shores of Pinnacle Golf and Boat Club. Tickets to the air show are required to enter Pinnacle Golf and Boat Club, unless they are a resident or guest of a resident.
