McChord AFB is just seconds away from this show so I would assume the Viper would stage out of there. The Harrier possibly from there as well or maybe BFI?

Thanks for adding those items to my post.

The Navy sent out an e-mail to those shows receiving support and which units will be supporting.

Tacoma will be getting support from VAQ-125 out of Whidbey Island, they fly Growlers.

Gig Harbor also is getting support, but from VFA-122 out of Lemore NAS. Legacy Hornets?

As far as the Legacy Demo is concerned, its not a full on Tac Demo. They make 4 passes with the vintage aircraft and then a couple without, including a high speed burner pass. Its the same routine as they had been doing, but without the Tac Demo part.
First, thanks so much for joining the forums. I do appreciate.

Second, it's VAQ-129 I betcha as 129 is the Fleet Replacement Squadron for the EA-18G Growler. Be nice if they'd bring one of their colour birds with the red tail.

Third, I am so excited for this airshow this year, can't wait! Just hope Captain Zoe and the F-16 Demo Team will be able to plz sign autographs!

See ya guys in July!

Practice is tentatively scheduled for the 3rd of July since all three teams will want to practice. Its up to the Yacht Club and boat owners to see if they can support two days on the water.

The big question is where is the best spot to film the show?
