BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - There's a lot of excitement building as South Mississippi prepares to welcome the Thunderbirds for their Thunder Over the Sound air show April 29-30 . But it's far from the first time the Air Force's premier air demonstration team has flown over the Mississippi Gulf Coast. You may have attended the Thunder Over the Sound air show in Biloxi a few years back in 2019 . But how many of you remember the Thunderbirds' 1957 air show in Biloxi? Les Phillips was there. In fact, he vividly remembers skipping school on Wednesday, April 10, 1957 and driving 150 miles to the coast to see the Thunderbirds flying their F-100 jets.
