[Bretten Bailey]

This is about the time the commitments for TBMs really firm up.

-Brad Deckert's TBM-3E Avenger
-Tri-State Warbird Museum's TBM-3 Avenger
-Commemorative Air Force Missouri Wing's TBM-3E Avenger
-Dave Prescott/The Prescott Foundation's TBM-3E Avenger "Ida Red"
-Commemorative Air Force Rocky Mountain Wing's TBM-3E Avenger
with a few more still to confirm. We're anticipating 7-10 this year.

Schedules. I think the gate time for Saturday is wrong. It's usually 9 or 10 a.m.

Any new TBMs to announce? Still expecting 7-10 or just the five announced?

Seems like a low turnout compared to the last few years.

Two more added:
-Tom Buck's TBM-3E Avenger "Lt. J.G. George Bush"
-Charlie Cartledge's TBM-3E Avenger

Many more were invited so we still anticipate the 7 to 10 (sitting at 7 now but wouldn't be surprised if a few more decide in the next few days. Maintenance and weather has a lot to do with it)

I was hoping there would be a Super Stearman aerobatic display here. Surprise surprise, obviously not.

We've never had a Super Stearman aerobatic display here. We always try to keep it to one big aerobatic act and then fill in around with warbirds. This year JP Mellor will be performing aerobatics in his T-6 (which we tried to do before but the weather kept that from happening) and that is in addition to TITAN Aerobatic Team.

Oh, I didn't actually know that. Hoping for The NextGen Eagles or Jason Flood next year!

It’s a warbird oriented Airshow, neither of those acts are in any way shape or form warbird related.
