The Idaho National Guard is proud to present
Gowen Field’s first open house and airshow in
more than 20 years: Gowen Thunder 2017, which
runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday and
Sunday, October 14 and 15. The event is open to
the public and general admission is free.
VIP tickets are available for purchase by
visiting
GowenThunder.org. You can also download the
Gowen Thunder 2017 app to your smartphone.
This open house and airshow will highlight our
soldiers and airmen as well as their equipment
and capabilities used when carrying out both
state and federal missions of the Idaho National
Guard. During this event, there will be many
impressive military and civilian performers and
static displays as well as a combined arms
demonstration along with a variety of local food
and merchandise vendors.
The world famous United States Air Force
Thunderbirds and their Canadian counterpart, the
Royal Canadian Snowbirds, will perform precision
aerial maneuvers both Saturday and Sunday.
This event is estimated to draw tens of
thousands of spectators from the area. If you
are planning to attend, please pay close
attention to event parking and entrance
instructions.
Gowen Field, located at the Boise Airport, is a
secured military installation. As a general
rule, if you can’t bring it on a flight, don’t
bring it on a military installation!
Due to the anticipated large volume of
spectators entering the military installation,
the general public will not be permitted to
bring vehicles, to include motorcycles and
bicycles, nor will any foot traffic be permitted
to enter Gowen Field.
Instead, several parking lots throughout the
local area will provide free shuttle service to
facilitate entrance to Gowen Field. A complete
list is available on the
Gowen Thunder website.
Military and state ID card holders, unless in
direct support of the open house and airshow,
are advised to park offsite.
Disabled visitors with a valid vehicle tag may
utilize parking on Gowen Field. |
