YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Blues are 100% confirmed. They will be on site with the A400, F-35, EA-18's, and Texan's. Tbirds are off site.

Waiting on a few more B-25 confirmations.

Waiting on confirmation of what will be alongside the F-35 in the HF, so add another warbird to the list at bare minimum.

Curious to see if anymore static military will make the list to fill up the ramp even more than it is already.

So did the Thunderbirds cancel then, if they are off the website? or do you mean they will be staging somewhere else then flying over?

Thunderbirds did not cancel. They just won't be staging out of Willow Run.

Ah ok, Thanks for the clarification. Bummer we won't see both teams resting together on the ramp at Willow Run.

In a facebook comment, Thunder said the F-35 will also stage remotely along with the Tbirds.

On one hand, remote shows are kind of lame. Takeoff is usually the best part of any demo.

On the other hand, the runway is far enough away from the crowd that we won't miss all that much!

Still a strange set up. Hopefully not a long-term thing.

Any one Know which airport T-Birds and F-35 will stage out of?

Detroit-Wayne (DTW) = 12,000 ft runway | 13 miles from YIP
Toledo (TOL) = 10,600 ft runway | 46 miles from YIP
Selfridge (KMTC) 9000 ft runway | 47 miles from YIP
Flint (FNT) = 7800 ft runway | 50 Miles from YIP
Lansing (LAN) = 8500 ft runway | 61 miles from YIP
