Their Facebook page teases an V-22 Osprey appearance for this years show. Hope it's a demo.

As of now, the crew flying in Battle Creek June 30th - July 4th is planning on performing in Goshen as well. Three terrific airshows in the span of one week for those in the Michiana area!

I was assuming it was a static stop. This is great news!

Is there any flying before the 6pm Airshow? I see the gates open at 11am, but the show doesn't start until 6pm. Just curious if anything is taking place in those hours before the show. Thanks. Dan

I would not expect so, but there may well be some warbird arrivals during that time. I only realized an hour ago that gates open at 11am. Last year I think it was 3pm so that's a big change. I think it was done to avoid the mass rush of people right before flying starts but it will make it more difficult to organize stuff for me - oh well.

Forecast looks awesome and twilight shows rock. If I can get a good spot I should have a very good day!
