that is what i was hoping for also, thought maybe a b52 flyby with the appearances they had this year, i missed my chance to see the fly by in Duluth, MN this year

The flying display and static display for this show look incredible! Hopefully I'll be able to make it next year.

Who else finds it sad that shows in the States, even at military bases, aren't able to put together a military display like this. I look at London's schedule and I think "WOW!" Then I think about shows the weekend prior to London and I'm like - "Oceana who?" - "Andrews who?"

London has the best ops team anywhere and it shows for what they get in the lineup. Selfridge had a good show as well this year with a nice mix of modern military and warbirds.

Hopefully confirmation 10 will be the A-4

I wouldn't object to an A-4 either, or an F-4, or a Harrier! :)

I contacted the guys with the A-4, and they said it isn't coming to to maintenance for the next 6 weeks. I hope the next announcement is something international, or the F-4 Phantom. The international tab for performers is still empty.

Thanks for the info. A shame it won't be there.

I also hope for some international additions, although won't be upset if nothing comes to fruition, as they are difficult to bring here. The RAAF KC-30 is a nice touch, already!
