Air Force Thunderbirds to fly over Mass. in 2007

By Sarah M. Kneezle, Globe Correspondent

The high-flying Thunderbirds are coming to the Bay State.

Massachusetts was one of six locations selected to host Air Force Week this summer, which will culminate at the Cape Cod Air Show on Aug. 25 to Aug 26. The Thunderbirds are scheduled to be the highlight of the show.

"Airmen from throughout the Commonwealth continue to be key players in the Global war on Terror," said Massachusetts National Air Guard Commander Brigadier General Michael D. Akey. "Air Force Week gives the citizens of our state the opportunity to pause and remember that there are talented, dedicated, professional Airmen serving around the world day and night to keep America safe."

The other five locations for the 1007 Air Force Week include Phoenix, Sacramento, St. Louis, Honolulu and Atlanta.
