Negative. Something happened while the 2024 updates were taking place that had all of the acts from the previous two years showed up. We have sent a note off to get that fixed. Not saying the F-35C won’t eventually be added, just that we haven’t heard from yet nor are they a part of our lineup at the moment.
Super Hornet is confirmed though, yes. Still no word on the Osprey as of yet.

We have received word from another big military act that they plan to be in Battle Creek this summer. However, we won't officially announce it until all of the paperwork is in our hands and we know it's firmed up. We are awaiting word on Legacy & Heritage Flights.
A few other planning notes regarding admission changes and such for this year:
-Admission will be $15 per person this year (with children 3 feet and under getting in FREE). This will be daily July 4th through 7th. Admission is good for the entire day as is parking. Tickets may be purchased in advance beginning in May. Cash or credit payments will be accepted at the gate.
-Parking will be $10 per vehicle on July 3rd and $5 all other days. Parking may only be purchased at the gate with cash!
-We'll have four separate parking areas. A North & South Lot off of Helmer Road (both directed in off Helmer) and then a General Lot off South Airport Road with entrance through Gate 6. Our VIP Parking lot will be on-site and off of South Airport Road (Gate 6). Shuttle Carts will be available to either our Gate 6 Entrance or Main Gates from either lot, though the walk isn't too horrible.
**Exact time gates open will be announced later. We may have to move opening up to accommodate some additional military acts and HF/LF**
Some Event Highlights for this year:
-Full Air Show: Thursday, July 4th; Saturday, July 6th; Sunday, July 7th (these are the only days the Thunderbirds will be performing)
