Hi Strat45,

If you are signed up as an Airshow Insider, Early Bird Runway seating is the same price as it was in 2022 ($15 front row/$10 regular).

Camping pricing has increased but we have doubled the size of each campsite to give campers more room and better sightlines. All camping passes include 6 full-weekend passes to the event grounds as well. Again, we recommend being an Insider to take advantage of Early Bird prices which are below $400.

Some insider updates:

- USAF C-17 Globemaster III Demo Team confirmed for flying display
- USAF Heritage flight will be F-35 and P-51 "Val-Halla" - I hear there could potentially be another addition (likely Warbird)
- USN Tailhook Legacy Flight will be the Growler team and A-1 Skyraider "Proud American"

Hoping to see some static announcements in May for RCAF at least but as things have been in recent years I'd expect to get the blunt of static announcements in June/July and we all know how fluid static confirmations are. Maybe we'll get some teasers again this year from someone potentially in the loop! ;)
