That's gonna be awesome. I think that confirms that the Horseman will be F-86's for TGBPA and Nellis. Looks like Ft. Worth will end up being a Mustang team.

Thunderbirds added! The weekend was open after the Puetro Rico show was cancelled last weekend.

The Thunderbirds announced the Huntington Beach addition on their instagram:

Sure wish I was going to this one. Looks like it's going to be an awesome aerial event. It's not everyday you get to see three aerobatic teams flying in one show.

I've been going to HB Airshow since the inaugural and only missed last year because of the lackluster performer list. Now THIS is a performer list!!!

A few potential changes to the list, I am 99.9% sure The Horsemen won't be coming. This also might mean that the Heritage Flight will be with Wee Willy II as it is listed on the site now. However, it's weird that it says Tommy Williams will be flying it, maybe Steve will be in the Sabre?

You can also add the C-17 / KC-135 aerial refueling demo and more than likely some solo passes.

And I still have zero idea where the Bearcat is coming from since Ray Dieckman doesn't own one anymore.... TBD!

Lastly the FedEx 757 and Lyon's C-47 Willa Dean!
