LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – We are getting a sneak peek of one of the acts for Saturday's Thunder Over Louisville from the point of view of the crew themselves.

Five airmen from the Kentucky Air National Guard's 123rd Special Tactics Squadron will deploy into the Ohio River from a C-130 at a height of 5,000 feet. The team will land in a targeted area of the river before being picked up by a special tactics water-recovery team.

They are one of more than 30 acts expected on Saturday.
