The weather looks favorable for the Arctic Thunder Open House and air show at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday.
Past events have brought in as many as 300,000 visitors to the base to see over 40 static displays across 30 acres, with aircraft and other inventory from the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Secret. There will be at least seven international partners taking part in some capacity, and seven hours of flying demonstrations, including six military aerial demonstrations, eight civilian aerial demonstrations and joint force demonstrations.
Access to the base during the show is limited. Gates open at 9 a.m. Civilian access is at the Boniface and Richardson gates only, but no ride-sharing drivers (Uber or Lyft) or taxis will be allowed, and neither will recreational vehicles, trailers or oversized vehicles. Department of Defense ID cardholders can access shuttles to reach the open house through Muldoon and Government Hill gates. Admission and parking is free, but parking is extremely limited.
The schedule:
11:15 a.m. National Anthem/opening ceremony with the 211th and 212th rescue squadrons
