The Big Sky Thunderbirds was founded over 55 years ago as the "Blue Mountain Aero Modelers". The Blue Mountain Aero Modelers flying field was located in the lower Miller Creek area and was left after the acquisition of a flying site near Frenchtown. Because of the move, a name change was deemed appropriate by the members and a contest was held to select the new name. The Big Sky Thunderbirds won out and so the club was born. The move from Frenchtown, after over 25 years of use, to the present site was necessary because a rock crushing operation was moved in beneath our over-fly area, safety being the main concern.
This site is best viewed with a minimum screen resolution of 1280 X 960 or above.
Ok folks....the Photo Gallery is fixed...please get to uploading photos! :)
