Glad the deal was closed. I know most people were hoping and/or expecting it, but I'm glad its out of the bag.

A few more big warbird announcements coming soon. Will be a well rounded show this year featuring birds across the eras and services.

Looks like they're missing a few bombers that were previously announced. Hmm. Even without them, it's a great list so far!

The list is a huge mess, so I would not rely on it. Thunderbirds at the top of the list, countless F-16 at the bottom, no seperation between static and flying, AAHF is missing, too.

As a european, it would be nice to see the navy stuff flying. We don't have so many Grummans on this side of the pond.

This show for some reason likes to list flying aircraft as statics as well, even though many of the flying aircraft are on the hot ramp segregated from the public. I find it rather silly as an American too.
