Not shocking, it looks like all of the teams will likely be pulling double duty on the weekend. That was one of the interesting things to note on the schedule!

Do you think we'll see an appearance by the B-1B, B-2 or B-52 this year?



Thanks,
Andrew

The bombers seem to be fairly active so far this year, so I wouldn't be shocked but haven't heard any rumors about that either. It's anyone's guess at this point

Just caught this post from EAA that they are relocating the Federal Pavilion where the government agencies have booths to one of the main exhibit halls (D). I noticed this line in the post, which is news to me:

Many agencies are bringing aircraft, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the U.S. Forest Service, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. NOAA will also have one of its hurricane hunter P-3 Orions on display on Boeing Plaza multiple days during the week. The aircraft will be open for tours and crews will be on hand to answer questions about the aircraft and their mission.

Thanks for sharing all of the information from the webinar! Going to be awesome!

One thing on the Airventure site that is not accurate is that the Canadian Warplane Heritage Firefly announced yesterday will not be coming. That info comes straight from the museum. They will be sending one or two other aircraft though.
