Yep. Those still pending will slowly make their way over to the cancelled list in time.

I'm anticipating in the next few days--- all those TBD aircraft will be canceled due to "real world situations out of our control"--- especially with most of the vip tickets sold out. LOL

Yeah, I'm pretty skeptical of the 3 bombers to say the least. Every year Milwaukee has a B2 flyby pending that never happens and this year they expect people to buy that they've got a B-52, B-1, and B-2 (TBD). :roll: If by some miracle it happens, it would be awesome.
I am looking forward to seeing the Viper demo here and in Chicago, but am bummed that there's no Raptor at either show we are going to this Summer.

Don't forget the Navy f35s, the WANG F35s, and the Navy Hawkeye. LOL

Right, they might might as well throw in a pending SR-71 Blackbird flyby for good measure. lol

The only one I think there might be hope for is the B-52 just because it’s heading to Oshkosh. Who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️
