Is there any schedule out there yet to fill the 12PM-4PM show? I am also hoping there are some awesome last minute adds.
I have contacted the promoters and asked if they will be producing a schedule or sequence of flight, and I also asked if they have plan to make anymore announcements regarding performers but I haven't gotten a response yet.

Thanks!

Update!

I just got word from the promoters that everything on the website is confirmed to fly at the airshow unless the planes are called in for duty or maintenance (keeping my hopes high that doesn't happen.)

They are expecting to release a sequence of flight for each day of the show.

Thank you!

FYI,

THE ARRIVALS JUST STARTED!

In the last hour, one C-130 Hercules, two F-16's from the Viper Demo Team, and two F-22's from the Raptor Demo Team have landed at the Miami Opa-Locka Executive Airport.

Unfortunately the weather has not been great and this could effect those arrivals expected today.

Thanks!

Welcome!

I would expect most of the performers to fly tomorrow for practice. Some of the regular units doing flybys may not appear, but the demo teams should certainly perform as normal.

Thanks and thanks Ryan. Im excited about the show, hopefully they can keep the crowds under control with the Urban fest going on at the same time. Btw I read that coolers will not be allowed so prepare accordingly.
