Wot No Doc?
Fingers crossed he/she/them/they make an appearance.

She will, but as a static, She's been a static at Miramar for the past 3 or 4 years now, No flying appearances unfortunately.

Thats good news and thanks for the info. Being a first timer to Miramar and also having never seen a B-29 in anger thats really great to hear. I was getting a bit worried when she disappeared off of the updated list.

Looks like the performers page has been fixed as it now shows the F-16 Viper Demo Team in attendance instead of the F-22 Raptor. It also appears that we may see some warbirds take to the skies over Miramar as the performers page also includes Warbirds Over Miramar.

Nice to see the addition of Cal Fire. I'm assuming some sort of water drop demo? Has this been done in the past ( or is it to douse the flames of the earlier pyro's ? ) ?

How does the safety stand-down affect Miramar's upcoming airshow?

Having been to this show several times in the 2000s, I can vouch that the Marines fly damn close to every aircraft type they've got in this airshow, and that would be a huge blow to the flying display.
