Another Northeast show cancelled.

Last Wilkes Barre show was in 2017 with the F-22 and Super Hornet.

This show was put on regularly until about 2000 or so. Then they brought it back in 2017.

It always attracted large crowds, since it is pretty close to NY/NJ metro area.

Scenic location in the Pocono Mountains.

I have been searching around for show schedules and theres been 3 lists that show this cancelled yet the Thunderbirds still have it on their airforce.com site. I see here the president responded stating it isnt happening. Is the Northeastern Pennsylvania Air Show 2022 as Scranton, PA truly cancelled? I just really trying to solidify this so I can change my plans to not go up there during this time then. thanks in advance

Well, if you really need further confirmation that the Thunderbirds won't be flying at Wilkes-Barre Scranton Airport on Aug. 27th & 28th,
then just go to the New York Air Show's website link below, cause they've changed the date of their show from Sept. 10 -11 to Aug. 27 & 28
in order to get the Thunderbirds after the Northeastern Pennsylvania canceled.
