Heading out tomorrow with a coworker/fellow aviation photographer and can't wait! Not sure how much if any we'll do at the airport tomorrow, but we're all set for the three day photography experience! Looking forward to meeting you all and having a great time.

Thursday arrival day! Raptors, Eagles and F-16s were fun! Seeing the CP-140 Aurora was a treat too, as they might not have much time left in service.

Arrivals day. Thursday from last year can not be topped. Whilst today was more relaxed, weather was rather cooperative and there was a tremendous variety of arrivals with the Colorado 16s and the Raptors being the most spirited. Technical hiccups tonight with offloading... But I will leave these two highlights

The daily schedules on the app have been updated and cover most performers that were missing.

Looks the A400 might be departing from the show on Sunday, and the MC-130 and Osprey might be performing together on the Friday night.

The only confirmed performer that doesn’t show up on the schedule is the VX-9 F18.

I believe it's now cancelled.

Maybe they'll advertise a Q400 "performance" as well when Jazz lands. They seem to be making this show up as they go along.

Hopefully today and Sunday run smoother

Anybody know where the B2 went after its fly overs. Only reason I am asking is the nascar race in kansas had a B2 flyover also.
