Looks like New Hampshire ANG has a new special on a KC-46. Hoping it's the one coming to Abby.

Does anyone else find that there is a lack of coordination between Abby's social media sites? Seems like a lost opportunity to get people excited and promote the show to me.

Five weeks out and I'm wondering if this show is going to have the wow-factor that the 60th deserves. Fingers crossed.

As far as I've heard they have a lot of amazing stuff lined up for the show. Lots of Europeans planned however with the war those might fizzle out and not come to fruition. I know if it comes to fruition, we will see a lot of returns from the past few years of both Abbotsford events. Until they announce what's behind the scenes, the show is looking lackluster especially for it being the 60th Anniversary of the show.

USAF C-17 Globemaster III added to the static display. The C-17 will be attending from the 446th Airlift Wing - JBLM Lewis-McChord.

It would be nice if it was also the jump platform for the Skyhawks.

Agreed, but I believe the Skyhawks jump platform has yet to be announced!

So under a month to the show and the weather might be a little stormy. Lightning already in the forecast but how much is remained to be seen. If an interesting looking cloud appears then you might want to look out for Grizzly's. Hopefully, the storm clears by nightfall and a Nova is seen overhead. The show is shaping up well and if this is Blackjack then the show has 21 and it'll be anarchy. May the Griffons soar above the Thunderbolts, high where Artemis lives.
