The show also planned to host a T-50A demonstration, but it looks like that has been cancelled. The show will also include an impressive array of static displays, including the F-15C & E, the F-35B, and the B-25 "Show Me". More info on the event can be found here:

Hoping to see some photos of the great military lineup!

Too bad about the T-50, I wonder what the story is.

The website says 6:20 is the start time, but that's really exciting! I don't know that the raptor has ever done an evening demo, can anyone confirm?

Raptor did an evening demo last year at London during the hour of power

I watched the practice show as they were streaming it on the SC ANG Facebook page and the combined arms demo was impressive - 6 vipers w/ lots of flares, two apaches, a Blackhawk and a bunch of tanks in the mix too! Should be a good show.
