They were NOT involved in the Seymour Johnson AFB event in May 2023.

At long last, they have finally announced on social media the MiG-23 is flying in the afternoon shows.

Looks like we lost the Oregon F-15s, no longer on the list.

Is it me or are the white zone tickets all sold out? I have just noticed this event and am pretty interested due to the Raptors, but it seems that only blue zone tickets are showing up on the website and I'm hesitating a lot; blue zone tickets are pretty expensive (200 dollars), is it still worth it?

Not for half a show.
Was wondering a question that might sound a bit illegal, but are there places near the airfield where I can park to get a glimpse of the air show?

I found that the best spot is on Tyler road near runway 5R/5L. Ecorse road in the other side is also decent but most of it is closed every year for the show.

They've been closing this road off on Saturday/Sunday unless you have a ticket. Friday arrival/practice day hasn't been an issue.
