Re: Thunder Over Michigan 2023

Re: Guardians Of Freedom Airshow

They have already updated the layout map - the E-6B and MC-12 are gone, and the AC-130 now just says C-130.

Re: Warbirds Over Monroe Air Show 2023

The B-52 being removed is not a surprise as the last time it came they had to remove all of the runway lights so that it could land due to its wide wingspan.

Re: Wings Over Wayne 2023

The only other F-22 demo with flares that I know of was a couple of weeks ago at Fort Lauderdale.
