Thousands attend first day of Montgomery air show | montgomeryadvertiser.com | Montgomery Advertiser from http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/ | The first day of the "Thunder Over Alabama" air show brought clear skies and a massive crowd to Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery. Base officials say their conservative estimate of the crowd was 50,000 to 70,000 visitors, but vendors guessed they'd seen more than 80,000 by early in the afternoon. The crowds flooded Maxwell for the 2010 air show and open house, which included five hours of aerial demonstrations. Flying aircraft and static displays ranged from World War II planes through aircraft in use today, such as the F-16, F-18 and C-130. The Thunderbirds, the U.S. Air Force's elite aerial demonstration team, closed the show with six F-16s flying upwards of 600 mph in formation and precision stunts. -- Jenn Rowell
