Thunder Over Louisville!? Well, the guys im headed to Nashville to Louisville Saturday morning for the holidays. I was wondering if anyone has some experience with this thing could help me on what all you need to put (coolers, chairs, etc.) with me and what I have to leave home. Where is a good place to park. I intend to go down to the water's edge I suppose. I do not mind walking and I would be able to leave the city that night, without much trouble in traffic. Everything else you can think I need to know would be useful too. Thank you!
I have not been to Waterfront Park Thunder so I can not say exactly what the parking situation is there. I know they have greatly improved the traffic in recent years, so you should be able to leave quickly. I am sure that the sooner you get there to better find a good place. The air show starts at 3:00 p.m. and people started coming early in the morning.
Regarding what to do, you need basic stuff like:
sunscreen
binoculars
lawn chair
food / drink or money for sellers
flashlight
appropriate amount of clothing (the top is 64 degrees and 40's for the fireworks this year)
comfortable shoes
something for children to do if you are providing them
camera
blankets
radio with headphones (comment airshow and the sound of fireworks 106.9fm)
earplugs (the jets are really loud)
guide thunder Courier-Journal. They go out tomorrow (16th) and provide a schedule of aircraft and other information.
What you should not wear things like tents, umbrellas, bottles, skateboards, alcohol or pets.
