Thunderbirds Rock Marietta Air Show (with video)
Oct 19th, 2008 | By admin | Category: City of Marietta, Marietta Square, Site Features, marietta events
This weekend the Thunderbirds rocked the Marietta area with the incredible Wings Over Marietta”> show. The logistical situation turned out to be a bit of an issue with some patrons having to wait well over 2 1/2 hours to reach the bus to return back to the parking area.
Justin Lashley of Kennesaw told WhitlockAvenue.com, “The show was excellent and well organized except for the transportation to and from the venue. It could use some improvement next year. We parked at White Water and were bused to Dobbins Air Force Base to see the show. After the show however, the lines were pure chaos. My family waited over 2 1/2 hours, but there were folks cutting lines to get on the buses. We were pretty frustrated but we had a great time. Definitely bring head phones or ear plugs if you have young children next year.“
We didn’t catch the show from the Base, but rather from the parking lot at the Cobb Civic Center. The views were awesome, and there was no traffic to wait in after the show was over. Here’s a clip from the vantage point we had at the Cobb Civic Center:
The entire parking lot shook as the Thunderbirds roared past us, It was breathtaking.

There appears to be no way to get in touch with the staff for this site. I had a few suggestions and questions. Sorry to leave this msg here, but I could find no other way. I do not see any email addresses for the staff, etc. I am at marietta260@yahoo.com. Paul
