In three weeks, the 'Warriors Over the Wasatch' airshow will take flight at Hill Air Force Base.
HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah — It's been four long years since Utah hosted an airshow, but soon that will all change.FOX 13 News got a sneak preview of why this year will be bigger and better. It will feature some local talent, too.
“This is our last practice before the local Hill air show,” said Major Kristin “Beo” Wolfe, the commander of the demo team. “It’s awesome — this is obviously our home base. We've been here since 2019 when we started practicing.” “We're really excited just to get everybody out — especially the local community — onto the base just to see this airplane, the Thunderbirds," Wolfe said."It's going to be a huge lineup."“We don't modify the airplanes, take out any sensors anything. Like, this airplane could go to war tomorrow with bombs in it,” Beo said.
"It was a hit to our pocketbooks," Ireland said."We planned this show almost two years out. And we were within 90 days of launching the show, and then it got canceled.”For those pilots in the sky like Wolfe, it's going to be an exciting first opportunity to inspire a home crowd.
