Thanks for the updates - gotta admit, it does a bit of the excitement out of arrivals Thursday if they all show up early.
Of course, we know the Blues are practising on Thursday, and the CF-18 demo usually practices early evening. Hopefully, the A-10 decides to do a practice run.
If "half the statics" don't arrive until Friday, then our Thursday watch will likely be for the C-5, and probably the F-16s and the Super Hornets; also, a few other heavies could show up. Unless, the AIAS pulls off a minor miracle with a late add to replace the F-15s...

Blue Angel 7 touched down at 7:20.
Fat Albert landed at 8:45 and then left at 9:15. Assuming going back to Boeing Field?

Airshowhawk, I believe it was you who said there was a few more announcements and one might be a tanker. is this still the case or are we looking at the final list?

If I had to put my money on it, I’d say it’s fairly finalized at this point. I can understand now why these things were never announced as I guess they were never officially committed to begin with (or operational status changed.)

Flair Airlines 737-400 added to static. Hopefully they'll open it for tours!

With all the road and terminal closures Thursday afternoon, where is the best spot to watch the Blues practice?

Is the Clipper still here or did it leave just as soon as it came?cf18hornet wrote: ↑Mon Aug 06, 2018 9:08 pm A US Navy C-40 Clipper just landed with all the Blue Angels crew onboard.
Fat Albert is also here for those of you interested.
Didn’t get much of a chance to keep my eye out for arrivals today aside from the Blue Angels arrival, I was unexpectedly greeted by numbers 1-4 as I pulled into Cascade.
