The Skyhawks today announced on their Facebook page that they will no longer be attending the show. No reason was given other than that statement.

Maybe they looked at the weather!? Yikes. always terrible when you see a lot of hard work from volunteers get rained out. I always love this show because they do put on a great show and it's well laid out and crowds aren't as big due to the lack of population density of the area. And the food trucks are among the best of the air show circuit, at least the ones I attend.

Still no announcement on FB which day the B-2 will be flying. Can't imagine they would fly up from MO both days, but who knows.

We were planning on going Saturday, but I agree....weather does look better for Sunday.

I messaged them a few days ago about the B-2 and they said both days they'll be flying it! If they were gonna pick a day, however, I think it'd be Sunday due to Saturday's weather looking like a bust. Nonetheless, Michigan weather is always changing haha!

Saturday morning is here and intellicast says the rain will move out around 11ish and be mostly cloudy for a bit and partly cloudy for the flying. Not sure how high the ceiling will be. I do think they will get in a full show today but the grounds will be really soggy.

I'm going to go Sunday as it is looking like a great day throughout.
