Both F-15C’s arrived, same with the P-3 Orion and C-130. I’ve been told a Super Hornet and T-45’s are inbound now.

Hoping the FA/18 showed up and the T-45's. Can somebody please post a schedule tomorrow? And looks like rain will be stopping which is perfect!

As far as I could tell, the F-18s never showed up along with the T-45s unless they showed up late at night. The CT-155 did some amazing passes like always!

I don't usually get access to a schedule at this show, but if I do see one I'll post it here. Hopefully someone else can fill us in this time!

TAF does not look too promising for today. Even when the rain stops, the ceilings are not good for flying.
