Base officials release air show attendance figures, but unofficial traffic counts are higher

Maxwell Air Force Base officials have released their attendance figures for the Thunder over Alabama air show.

The official numbers are 120,000 for the two day event that included the Air Force's Thunderbirds.

I've been told by other air show organizers that the traffic count was closer to 92,000 on Saturday and 41,000 on Sunday for a total of 134,000.

And those figures don't include those who walked on base or watched from off-base. Although, the traffic count figures also don't account for people who may have driven onto base to go to work or who live on base.
