NEW STATIC:

We are excited to have the Illinois National Guard at the 2022 #SpiritAirshow with their iconic Boeing CH-47 Chinook!

In production for over 50 years, the Boeing Chinook has been the backbone of the rotor fleet for nearly every emergency on planet Earth.

Looks like the CAF P-51C has been dropped. Still time for a few more additions before show time though!

Bummer. Was looking forward to seeing the P-51C! I ended up as one of the finalists for the STEM career video contest so I'll get to go to the performer's reception. Super stoked about that one! I will find out there if I get to fly with the Aerostars!! Definitely going to be an epic weekend!

Stay safe,

Looking forward to this weekend! I plan to be there both days. Hopefully, the rainy forecast for Friday won't impact too many arrivals.

Welp. Looks like I won't be going. Came down with a cough last night and tested positive for COVID. Talk about crappy timing! At least I found out before leaving. What a kick in the nuts.

If anyone wants free tickets to either day, PM me and I'd be happy to forward mine. I'd rather see them used by someone than sit in my inbox.

I look forward to seeing everyone's pics and videos!

Apparently, the Class of '45 was a late addition. They stopped in Cookeville, TN en route yesterday.

I was able to catch the Super Guppy's arrival! It was so cool seeing it fly in person for the first time!
