Is it just me or is this lineup becoming almost identical to 2022? Blues, EC C-17, Viper, Tora, potential Bayou F-15s. It's basically 2022's lineup minus the Sea Stallion and Vampire.

Looks like no more B-17 unfortunately. It's not on the website anymore

Osprey I knew would for obvious reasons. No chance they could get that demo certified in time. UPS is using the 747-8 which I am ...

I've just got one A-10 show on my schedule this season, that being Cleveland. Good thing about that show though is that it lasts three days instead of the normal two. I'll definitely be attending all three this year as I hope they fly both the Black Mamba and Memphis Belle II that weekend. Thinking ...

This actually hurts to read...

Like I said earlier in the thread, I've been to a few airshows in Dayton - including the monster they had in 2003. I wouldn't expect them to come anywhere near what they had in '03 in terms of numbers of jet teams, jet demos, acts, warbirds, etc. but I will say this - the lineup as it is now is pre...

With either people retiring, leaving the industry, or the unfortunate nature of the business, with very little new acts appearing yearly , there is very little variety out there anymore. It’s a bi...
