Another long shot would e a USCG C 130.

I will hold out hope for the HC-27J Spartan! Although I have to admit, I don't know if the USCG has any stationed in the NW.

Would love to see a USCG HC-130J however if we get a SAR C-130 it'll likely be an RCAF one. As for potential SAR aircraft that could attend I made a list.

RCAF
CH-146 (Cold Lake SAR)
CC-130H (424 Sqn) *one of their aircraft is having work done at cascade*
CC-115 (422 Sqn)

CGC
Bell 212 (Shoal Point/Seal Cove)
Bell 412EPI (Prince Rupert)
Bell 429 (Victoria)

USCG
HC-130J (Kodiak)
C-27J (Sacramento)
MH-60 (Astoria)

USN
MH-60 (Whidbey Island SAR)

And I think AirshowHawk also mentioned something about tankers?

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)

Dang you beat me to it, and it's only been 12 minutes since the announcement!

Going to be one of the best shows in years in terms of jet noise that's for sure!

Closest would be Sacramento

Yep, I know! To be honest, tankers aren't the most interesting for me anyway. But I just enjoy thinking about a strong static display for the show.

And very happy to hear that the Skyhawk will be doing a flying demo!

Biggest since 2015. I am very excited to see an A-4 demo. First time I will see one one perform. I only got to see one take off, back i 2016.

Very cool news! Does anyone know if the static Skyhawk will also be the one performing? If so, it will likely be removed from static, no?

I believe they are both the same jet, so yes it would be brought off for its performance and then back on to the static ramp after.
