Olympic Air Show

The Olympic Flight Museum is pleased to announce the 2025 Olympic Air Show on June 14-15th will feature the Smoke-n-Thunder jet car!  Out on the taxiway you can hear the deafening roar of an engine and see billowing clouds of smoke. You can feel the reverberations of mini sonic booms. You look up and realize it’s not an aircraft. In front of you is the Smoke-n-Thunder Jet Car preparing to accelerate!

The vehicle taxis to the runway and prepares to engage the afterburner which shoots 20-foot flames, produces billowing smoke, and mini sonic booms.

At the end of the runway, the jet car comes to a standstill. An aircraft above has challenged the driver to a race. Jaws drop as the aircraft approaches. The driver can see that the aircraft is directly overhead. He kicks in the afterburner and accelerates the jet car—he races at speeds approaching 400 mph and overtakes the aircraft in seconds. The driver is pulling 4.5 G’s. As he deploys the parachute to bring the car to a stop, he experiences 11 Gs of negative force. Eyes blinking, the crowd is astonished at what it just witnessed.

He waves to the on-lookers as he is towed back to the taxiway and display area, where the crew are available to sign autographs and talk with the crowd.
After more than 4,000 performances, Smoke-n-Thunder still thrills the crowds at events all over the United States.

The Olympic Air Show is hosted by the Olympic Flight Museum at the Olympia Regional Airport on June 14-15th, 2025. For more information about the show visit our website at: http://olympicairshow.com
