There may be an organized tour group that has special access, but I doubt it. Bases in the US don't really do spotters days.

Most people spend Friday hanging out on the side of the road near base and watch practice from there. It's not great for pics, but you can see most of the flying from there.

So I was able to find the link to Aviation Nation's page on the Nellis site.

It's a bit of a mess with 2022, 2019, and 2017 info all jumbled together.

There seems to be an initial performers list (2022). There are also 3 static lists. I assume the huge one is from 2019. The other 2 I'm not sure of.

Performers:

Thunderbirds​
F-22 Demo Team​
F-35 Demo Team​
Heritage Flight (3x P-51)​
USAFA Jump Team (WoB)​
Growler Legacy Flight ​
Shockwave

Combined Arms Demo
  • F-16​
  • F-15E​
  • F-35​
  • A-10​
  • HH-60​
  • Joint Tactical Air Control (JTAC)
  • SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape)

I have been trying to decipher their website as well Dan, including looking up their FB page; neither one has been kept up. I'm really just wanting to see the 35 and Growler, so if they're there, I'm sold.
I went in 14 and had a great time and am planning on going to this years with my wife.
