Love the anniversary C-17. Might be wishful thinking but I'm going to hope for these two special paint jobs as well...

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but the camo hawk as been repainted and unless we get 4 Wing Hornets the demo CF-18 from last year won't come either. Eastern airshows usually get 3 Wing hornets but they could send a special squadron tail.

Following the Canada Day announcements with an all Canadian aircraft, it looks like there will be some all American announcements on Independence Day!

Verbal confirmation of an F/A-18 Hornet from the USMC!

Announcement #2. Verbal confirmation of USAF F-16 performing!

Edit: Realized I originally said static, when it will actually be flying!

Another set of excellent announcements! With regards to the F-16 announcement, it will be more then 1 aircraft. Number of aircraft is TBD.

Usually fighters come in pairs. I've never seen just 1 flight come to an airshow.

I hope there are more and more announcements. I am decisively torn between this show and NAS Oceana's Show the week after. I can't do both as I live in Seattle, but I want the show I choose to be more exciting. Anyone have any idea how often announcements will be made from now on?

They're released once or twice a week.
