Thanks for joining! I imagine Anthony will be along soon to discuss Abby.

Thanks for pointing that error out. Geoff is a great addition. I guess we won't find out about statics until May or June.

Performers update. Ch-149 Cormorant Demo, Brent Handy Pitts S2A, CC-115 Buffalo SAR Demo, A-1 Skyraider, and F-86 Sabre have all been added. :D :D Not quite sure where that Sabre is from, but on the Abby website, the Sabre is in the colors from the Horsemen team, so we'll eventually find out. Awesome lineup already, and so much more to come. :D :D :D

Looking very solid. I'm wondering what this "NORAD demo" will be.

My money's on F-16's from either Belgium or Netherlands (Duh)

Dutch F-16's have been in and out of Arizona lately training in good weather, and they've been known to attend Red Flags at Nellis (which takes place couple days after Abby)
Or...Belgium. They also attend Red Flags, and the CF-18 demo safety pilot this year is the ex-BAF F-16 demo pilot from couple years ago.

Unless its a USANG F-16 pair..I'd be blown away if they somehow got the F-16 Demo team to fly with ours. I'd say quite unlikely.

Who knows....hope it pans out!
