Seems like more and more are dropping from the list of performers.

I got a response from Nellis in regards to parking at the speedway. According to them, gates for the parking lots will open at 0800. Hope this helps anyone else in the planning stages.

I know! I was really excited for a B-2 stealth bomber fly over....but now all I'm looking forward to at the show is the USAF war fight demo (F-15, F-16, and F-35 (new addition)), Pave Hawks, A-10, F-22 demo, and Thunderbirds.

The Heritage Flight schedule still shows an F-86 on their homepage but it's nowhere to be seen on the Nellis info page. Fingers crossed it shows. I have a feeling from all the flip flopping and changes that are still ongoing with the App that we may be surprised by what actually shows :) ....or doesn't :(

Got a message to our Facebook page asking why the P-38 isn't there. Anyone have info on that?

Wow, bucket list item checked off! What a great show...phenomenal background to shoot photos. Thanks to Ryan S and Larry I for the help in the photography section. My photos turned out significantly better than the last show. I have about 2000 pics to go through and I'll post some for sure.

The F-35s were fantastic in the warfighter demo!
