Not saying any of this is true, but in a new TikTok posted by the official Dayton Airshow page. In the TV in the background you can see images of performers and statics, in some of the shots you can see NASAs Super Guppy, MQ-9 Reaper, and B-52 Stratofortress. If these show up for static that will be a massive win as the air lineup is still really poor.

My father and I were there for the big four-day airshow in 2003 and they had a B-52 and the Super Guppy on display that year. I'm sure Dayton has had both on static display since then.

Looks like at least the B-52 was correct. According to the website a Minot-based BUFF will be there. Only addition so far

MQ-9 Reaper has been added to the ground display lineup! Seems those little leaks on the TikTok have been correct! These displays so far have been the strongest in years!

They also announced the rest of the ground display lineup will be released very soon, excitement is building!

Initial ground displays are out.

Not bad in my opinion, and it seems there may be more displays to be announced soon
