The show posted the news on FB. While it's never shocking when things don't show, this one seems pretty likely to work out.

The B-1 left Oshkosh as planned, and if memory serves the one coming on Saturday broke.

GRISSOM AIR RESERVE BASE, Ind. --
A B-1B Lancer is scheduled to perform September 7-8 at the 2019 Grissom Air and Space Expo.

Carrying the largest conventional payload of both guided and unguided weapons in the Air Force inventory, the multi-mission B-1 is the backbone of America's long-range bomber force. It can rapidly deliver massive quantities of precision and non-precision weapons against any adversary, anywhere in the world, at any time.

Entering service in 1986, the B-1B Lancer was designed as a strategic bomber which would combine the supersonic speed of the B-58 Hustler with the range and payload of the B-52 Stratofortress. It has since become an invaluable asset to the Air Force, and delivered over 40 percent of all munitions dropped in the first six months of Operation Enduring Freedom. Additionally, it holds almost 50 world records for speed, payload, range, and time of climb in its class.

The B-1B Lancer is just one of many attractions which will appear at the 2019 Grissom Air and Space Expo, including the Army Golden Knights and the Air Force Thunderbirds aerial demonstration teams.

The 434th ARW is the largest KC-135R Stratotanker unit in the Air Force Reserve Command. The Citizen Airmen from the Hoosier Wing routinely deploy around the world in support of the Air Force mission.

Stay connected with the 434th ARW on Facebook and Twitter.

The shows website is now online.

A recent article post says they will have a F-35 on static. The website is slowly coming together, although the B-1 that was listed has been removed. Not sure whether to read anything into that or whether the website just isn't very good (because it isn't).

You can obviously scratch the F4U-7 after its incident in May. The F8F and TBM are listed on the website as static.

C-5 galaxy to “perform” both days according to grissom ARB

I would expect the B-1 off the website now is telling the public it won't be there.

I'm also thinking the B-1 is off based on its operational status. C-5 is a nice addition and isn't something we get to see perform at shows in the Midwest very often. Hoping we'll get a good show from the home KC-135s too.

I have also read that the B-1 Airshow appearance at Grissom is canceled. I heard they can only get about 10 B-1's in the air at any one time do to heavy maintenance being done after it's long deployment to Qatar for Afghanistan.
