“Thunder in the Desert”, Luke Air Force Base’s Open House and Airshow was a huge success on March 21 and 22, 2009. Come back to our website as we post pictures and video from this event.
Luke’s “Thunder in the Desert” 2009 Open House was a two-day event at Luke Air Force Base and one of the most diverse air shows in America. The U.S. Air Force’s Aerial Demonstration Team, the Thunderbirds, brought their special brand of high-flying excitement to this year’s show as well as numerous other aircraft and ground displays, exhibits, and attractions.
Stay tuned for details about the next air show in 2011.
Is there not going to be an air show in 2010?
Negative, there will be an airshow in 2011 however. Typically we sponsor 1 year as the Air Show and the next year as the Airmen’s Ball.

I hope your historian can help me. I was a founding member of the “Friends of Luke AFB” association in the early 1990′s. We organized the very first “Air Force Ball” in 1992 or 1993. After I retired from the USAF in 1995 I lost touch with the organization. I believe they merged with your organization. I would sincerely any information you can provide about the “Friends of Luke AFB” organization. Thank you.
Someone at FCP will contact you regarding your inquiry.
