Not yet. We're positive they'll be coming but just waiting for that last bit of confirmation.

Our twilight show is still "up in the air" (pun intended) on what will be flying. Friday will be a fun day as it's a down day for the Thunderbirds but we're hoping to pretty much have some terrific action beginning in the afternoon and rolling right into the Twilight & Night piece of the pie (with a balloon launch and concert in between). Golden Knights may join our Night Show as well with a jump and we aren't sure what military assets may or may not fly at twilight quite yet as we are still working on that portion of the schedule.

Any word on the osprey demo team? Or is that the one that is waiting to be 100% confirmed.

F-35C team mentioned above was what we were waiting on.

We have not received an update on the Osprey.

I am assuming that the Osprey is not showing up this year, sense there hasn't been an update yet.
