U.S. Navy Blue Angels

During the aerobatic demonstrations over West Grand Traverse Bay, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels fly six F/A-18 Hornet aircraft, split into the Diamond Formation (Blue Angels 1 through 4) and the Lead and Opposing Solos (Blue Angels 5 and 6). Most of the show alternates between maneuvers preformed by the Diamond Formation and those performed by the Solos.

The Diamond, in tight formation and usually at lower speeds (400 mph), performs maneuvers such as formation loops, barrel rolls and transitions from one formation to another. The Solos showcase the high performance capabilities of their individual aircraft through the execution of high-speed passes, slow passes, fast rolls, slow tools, and very tights turns. The highest speed found at an air show is 700 mph (just under Mach 1) and the lowest speed is 120 mph.

Some of the maneuvers include both solo aircraft performing at once, such as opposing passes (toward each other in what appears to be a collision course) and mirror formations (back-to-back, belly-to-belly, or wingtip-to-wingtip, with one jet flying inverted). The Solos join the Diamond Formation near the end of the show for a number of maneuvers in the Delta Formation.

Dunesville Music Festival – July 22 – 24, 2016

Hello Dunesville folks!

We are approaching our 4th annual Dunesville Music Festival with great pride and thanks to be able to be a new part of continuing this long time musical tradition. Starting from scratch has not been all easy, but it has been worth every minute and the lesssons learned. We take pride in our search for the best new and popular Bands and Musicians that Michigan has to offer, and bringing them to stage at the Beautiful Harm Farm with the many songs, interactive workshops and talents that they bring.

Unfortunately, we only have three days to fit them in! Our goal is to provide an atmosphere of arts, inspiration, great music, food, drink, and fun for everyone, aswell as making memories that will last a lifetime.

While we grow we welcome all of your friends and families to help in making this your family festival! Thank you ahead of time for joining us at Dunesville 2016! See you there!
