Well I check every couple of days various websites such as the International Council of Airshows, Aircraft museums that fly planes to shows, performer schedules, and a couple other websites. As for static displays I go to the show every year and some of the aircraft that are on static display are on static displays every year.

There was no Super Hornet on static last year, are you just making guesses or is this hard info?

I made a mistake and put it in statics instead of performing.

Las Vegas does have a very good transit system. I did not personally stay on the strip, so I can't tell you what bus(es) to take. I know there was a special bus that ran from the Bonneville Transit Center which is near Downtown Las Vegas, all the way to the Speedway, where parking and shuttle buses are. This was the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Express - Route 604. I'm not sure if they do this every year for the airshow or not, so I would send off an e-mail and ask, if this route will be in effect for the airshow weekend. The route is only used for special events at the Speedway (ie: airshow and Nascar races)

Here is the transit website: http://www.rtcsnv.com/transit/


Hope this helps!
