I was wondering if anyone knew what the crowd line orientation will be this year. Will it be the same as last year where it was aligned with the runway I believe at the request of the Thunderbirds to take the trash pile out of the way or will it revert back to the orientation from previous years? I am hoping it will be like last year as I thought the lighting was much better for photography.

Static is still a possibility but I doubt it at this point

Couple of updates as the current aircraft list isn't 100% correct now...

2x 187th F-16's and an HH-65 (on Sunday) added

CC-150 confirmed to be dropped

More than likely an updated final aircraft list will come when they update the schedule

**C-5 confirmed by Thunder to be off the list :oops:
