Saturday Sequence of Flight,

The flight performances for the Ford Lauderdale Air Show will begin at 12:30 pm on Saturday, May 6th centered in front of Birch State Park on State Road A1A in Fort Lauderdale Beach. The sequence of flight is as follows:

National Anthem – Flag Jump
SOCOM Para-Commandos
Mike Wiskus Preview
L-39 Cold War Era Jet Demo
John Black in the Super Decathlon
GEICO Skytypers
U.S. Coast Guard Search and Rescue Demo
F-16 Viper Demo
USAF Heritage Flight
Mike Wiskus in the Lucas Oil Pitts
SOCOM Para-Commandos Full Show
U.S. Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey Demo
Sean D. Tucker/Team Oracle
U.S. Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet Demo
Canadian Armed Forces Snowbirds.

There's word going around that either the Super Hornet or Viper will fly twice or the both will fly extended demo's due to the Harrier dropping out.

Thanks!

Message from the promoters. . .

"Due to operational readiness and existing national security priorities, late on Friday the U.S. Marine Corps cancelled the MV-22 Osprey demo for the #FLLAirShow this weekend."

Unfortunate!
