Volunteers in red aprons, with carts provided by Wegmans, will be visible inside the main entrances and near main displays. The program book is the only official information guide for the 2015 show and includes these bonuses: Thunderbird poster, aviation trading card and log-in information to access a digital version of the program and a two-year aviation calendar.

The Thunder of Niagara Air Show is presented by the 914th Airlift Wing, 107th Airlift Wing and theNiagara Military Affairs Council. For more information on the event, visit www.thunderofniagara.com. Keep up with the 914th by visiting www.niagara.afrc.af.mil.

Organizers said, "Air Force air shows are valuable community events that increase public awareness and understanding of the armed forces and the mission, policies and programs of the United States Air Force. Military air shows support recruiting by inspiring patriotism and encouraging young men and women to serve in the military. In addition, we at the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station like to host air shows as a way to thank the community for their never-ending support of the base."
