Gunfighter Skies 2008 takes to the air over Mountain Home AFB Published Sept. 17, 2008 By Staff Sgt. Brian Stives 366th Fighter Wing Public Affairs Office MOUNTAIN HOME AIR FORCE BASE, Idaho -- The 366th Fighter Wing opened its gates to more than 60,000 spectators who jammed the Mountain Home Air Force Base flightline Saturday and Sunday for the Gunfighter Skies 2008 air show. Sunday drew the biggest crowd as the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds had the crowed oohing and ahhing while they performed their aerial show. Between the acts in the sky, spectators had the opportunity to get up close and personal with a KC-135, C-130, B-25, F-22 Raptor, and F-15s from MHAFB, as well as tanks and helicopters from the Idaho National Guard. "The air show was phenomenal due to the professionalism and commitment of every Airman on base that volunteered their time and talents as we opened our gates to the people of Idaho,' said Lt. Col. M. Todd Miller, Gunfighter Skies 2008 air show director. "The Gunfighter team really pulled together with the planning, preparation and execution of the show, this was truly a team effort, and an exceptional event. I'm bias, but I think it was the best air show in Mountain Home history." The event was co-sponsored by Silver Wings of Idaho.
