All valid and convincing points. I agree with 101voodoo: here's hoping for fighter week, and then maybe even heavies week? A couple of Super Hornets, and a Raptor or two would look fantastic on the statics list! Also looking forward to seeing the retro Sea King, and definitely the new Cyclone. We ha...

The only candidates I can think of would be the USN Super Hornet, the F-22 and the F-35 - all of which, I believe, have been ruled out. Where and when have the USN Super Hornet, F-22 and F-35 been ruled out? Thoughts of any other possibilities? Besides those 3, other possibilities could be F-15E an...

Static updates to be announced almost daily according to the website and from what I’ve been told from the folks at the AIAS. This is great news. That many announcements sounds like abby will get back to a 2012 size show. Hopefully there are a few more heavies and 1 or 2 more fast movers. Really lo...

I want to point out that until the airshow organizers officially confirm things themselves, any information I have provided at this point should be considered speculation (Even if it was provided to me by a reliable source) Yep, I know! To be honest, tankers aren't the most interesting for me anywa...

Very cool! I think there's going to be 4 firsts on static for me: MC-130J, HC-144, CH-148, and MQ-9. Don’t forget the Airbus A400M! Very much looking forward to its arrival. I think those are all firsts for me as well - only one I'm not sure of is the MC-130J. Has that particular plane been at Abby...

Remind me, what was rumored and/or cancelled last minute at last years' show? From what I recall, it wasn't the last minute cancellations: it was the big blunder on their website where a number of statics were shown, including the B-1B and at least a couple of heavies if I'm not mistaken, and then ...

What else might there be for last month additions? The rumoured C-17? Didn't the airshow post on Facebook a month ago that they were close to securing a C-17 demo? Yes, that was the "rumour" I was referring to from Facebook - no sign of it yet, but we can still hope. I'm sure we'll see mo...

A flying Skyhawk would certainly be an enjoyable blast from the past; maybe he could go up with one of the Blues as a tribute to the history of the Blue Angel aircraft? On a tongue-in-cheek note: least exciting add to Statics ever would have to go to the Cessna. Not there officially, but we can assu...

So...extremely happy with the NORAD announcement: I'm quite certain I've never seen a CF-18/F-15/F-16 formation before. And this definitely qualifies for I mentioned in a previous post, wondering if there could be another military jet "demo" added. On Abby's FB post, they say the 15s and 1...

On the Abby Facebook page, they've posted a throwback to the F-15s and their pending static display this year. However, in the comments, they seem to drop a hint that the Eagles may fly at the show - something connected to NORAD's 60th anniversary. Hopefully more than a teaser!
