Interesting, I wonder why? It’s not like they have too many performers and you guys have done shows there in the past.

Looks like they updated the website’s performers (the formatting at least). One thing to note is the absence of the Rhino demonstration team.

Per an Instagram post today, the West Coast Rhino Demo Team confirmed they will be at Aviation Nation this year. I'm wondering if there is some confusion with the performers, as they have listed Growler (F-18) :lol:

Nellis’ website (nor’ any of the airshow sites) have the West Coast Rhino team listed as a performer. I know they have posted that they plan to be there. Still not content, I reached out to them and they re-confirmed that they will be there.

Hopefully the Rhino demo team hasn't just replaced the Growler team. As much as I enjoy the Rhino demo, I've only seen the Growler demo once and it was outstanding.

I wonder what exactly this combined arms demo is? I suppose this is replacing the Air to Air and Air to Ground demos and condensing them into a single demo? thats abit of a shame but oh well, I'm still crossing my fingers that the new F-35 Aggressors might show up for this demo!

I thought it was the same thing...

No matter what it’s going to feature the F-16, F-15E, F-35, A-10, and HH-60. I don’t know if those are singular or plural as the Nellis site does not specify.

It's the same thing. It combines all that stuff into one demo. Who knows, maybe they'll add more aircraft or more to the demo for the 75th, but it should be similar to the video below.



It was the same thing when I went in 2016, but having F-15Cs instead of F-22/F-35s.
