I'm actually way more excited for this one than Thunder Over Michigan at this point. It was already a great lineup of vintage jets and the inclusion of the Phantom makes it even better! Hopefully, Collings Foundation will have the mechanical tweaks ironed out by then. I saw a video posted of engine runs the other day.

Add to that the Horsemen, Trojan Horseman, Tora! Tora! Tora!, the CAF P-39 and the OV-1 Mohawk and there will be a lot of interesting warbirds flying at Selfridge.

From what I understand, it is just the Tora, Tora, Tora bomb squad (pyro) and not the whole flying show.

That is striaght from the Tora, Tora, Tora website.

Looks like you're right on Tora - it has been removed from the Selfridge website. Still looks like a great lineup.

Wow, lots of warbirds! I seem to remember Selfridge as being aerobatics heavy but maybe that is just me. Seems like a pretty decent lineup!

Maybe I'll skip Thunder and do two days at Selfridge this year. Much more interesting lineup and it's free.

Assuming all of the vintage jets show and fly, that's probably the best vintage jet lineup I've had the opportunity to see since visiting the 2005 Selfridge show.

Decided last night to come back to this show and skip the weak Toronto show this year. It's very rare to see an F-4 and who knows how much longer it will fly.Selfridge has a great lineup this year looking forward to it.

Did notice that Selfridge ia showing a Super Hornet demo but the Navy Tac demo schedule shows it as a C model
