The A-10 Warthog will be joining the F-16 for the Heritage Flight!

The rare p-51b "Berlin express" will be in attendance for it's first public appearance.

Not sure about first public appearance, it was in Oshkosh in 2015. Still cool, though.

Well I definitely missed that lol

Sun n Fun is advertising a Viper demo on Wednesday now, technically a practice but still a full show!

From the SnF Facebook page:

SCHEDULE UPDATE: As we've said before, the military statics at SUN 'n FUN are all working military aircraft subject to operational demands. Unfortunately, due to USAF Red Flag exercises, the F-22 and F-35 are demanded elsewhere and will not be attending #SNF17.

However, we still have a pretty solid MilStat lineup including the F/A-18 and P-8 pictured. Right now here are the aircraft scheduled to attend:

A-10 Thunderbolt II
WC-130J – Hurricane Hunter
C-17 Globemaster
F-15 Strike Eagle
F-16 Falcon
F/A 18 Super Hornet
F-5 Tiger II
T-38 Talon
KC-135
P-8 Poseidon
P-3 Orion
UH-60 Blackhawk
MH-53 Sea Dragon
AH-1 Cobra

I had a fun air2air flight today with two l-39s and a beautiful t-33:

Cool patch from the Patrouille DE France A400!

Is Fat Albert confirmed for Sun & Fun? I didn't think he would be back this early. Does anybody know when he is returning?
