Thunder Over Cedar Creek Lake Air Show is the largest of three fundraisers hosted by the CCVF, and all proceeds go to assist East Texas veterans. CCVF has donated almost $300,000 to veterans’ charities since its inception.

The long weekend kicks off on Thursday, July 2, as these planes come roaring into Tyler Pounds Airport, at the Historic Aviation Memorial Museum (“HAMM”). HAMM will be open for visitors Friday, Saturday and Sunday for those who want an up close and personal view of several of these aircraft. The aircraft participating in the rehearsal will leave Friday July 3rd late afternoon to fly to Cedar Creek Lake and it includes the amazing aircraft of the United States Air Force, civilian warbird jets and others.

THE SHOW WILL BE COMPLETE WITH COMMENTARY ON THE BACKGROUND AND HISTORY OF THE PLANES AND WILL BE BROADCAST LIVE ON KCKL RADIO AT CEDAR CREEK LAKE.
This popular air show over the lake includes the military jets, parachute jumpers, warbirds, and performances by Randy Ball in his MiG 17’S with afterburner roaring at twilight. The show and individual performers are subject to change due to unforeseen weather, mechanical issues and governmental regulations. In prior years over 40,000 people have watched the air show from shore, docks and boats. Families from all over the region schedule their 4th of July activities around Thunder Over Cedar Creek Lake Air Show, creating lifetime memories.
