The Bethpage Airshow (Jones Beach/Wantagh, NY) has dropped their Hornet demo due to airspace restrictions.

I have a question regarding the schedule for VFA-106 "Gladiators", on the blog it is registered that June 25-26 they are in Huntsville. I find nothing about this show and in addition June 25-26 are a Sunday and a Monday. I noticed this problem because the Bagotville show indicated on their website that the Super Hornet was confirmed. Is it possible to see the official calendar of the VFA-106 on a website, like the ACC Aerial display for example?

The only place I've seen their schedule posted (and where we got it from) was the TACDEMO Facebook page. I don't think they have a website or anything. I will look into those dates and see if I can find anything. If you find anything, let me know and I'll update our list!

I wrote directly to the Tac Demo, and I got the answer that the Huntsville show will not take place and there was an error in their schedule. They did not confirm their presence for Bagotville, but mentioned following their Facebook page for the addition of new dates.

Thanks for the info! I crossed it out on the schedule.

The SC Guard ANG Expo (May 6 & 7) just added the VFA-122 Super Hornet as a performer, as well as some other interesting performers. Link here:

The Lake City Air Show is still cancelled by the way.

Thanks, I meant to cross that one out but it slipped past me.

No kidding about the lineup! I'd love to see a T-50 demo. Maybe they will become common as the competition heats up? When is the contract supposed to be awarded?

I think the goal is the end of the fiscal year 2017. I think the T-50 will win, since Lockheed Martin is on a winning streak. The Skorpion is also interesting, maybe a future replacement to the A-10?
