Interestingly the CAF B-24/B-29 website for their AirPower History Tour lists only the B-29 as attending and removed the B-24:

MAAM site has removed B-29 but B-24 still listed. Weird.

On the WWII Weekend unofficial Facebook page, the Airboss for the event just clarified that the CAF is correct and only Fifi, not Diamond Lil, will be in attendance. Apparently Diamond Lil is still down for maintenance.

The folks in charge of the airshow website fixed the lineup as it now shows the B-29 "Fifi" and the B-24 "Diamond Lil" was removed from the roster.

Alan Armstrong's B5N2 Kate replica arrived last night at RDG! Unfortunately, per various sources, the BALHF C-54D and Warbirds Adventures TP-40N will both not be in attendance this year.

LAST MINUTE WARBIRD ADDITIONS
If you have been keeping up with changes in our Airshow Roster you may have noticed we have lost a few of our expected performers. But don't despair, we have arranged for a trio of fabulous replacements to fill those slots. Mark Murphy of Elkenville LLC will be bringing his A6M2 Zero, FG-1D Corsair, and P-51D Mustang "Tiger's Revenge" for the Saturday show, only. So if you were trying to decide which day you wanted to attend WWII Weekend, keep this in mind.
