Wow, are you serious? There's a gap in their schedule but haven't heard anything concrete yet.

That'd be unreal!

STATIC ALERT: French Air Force A330MRTT added. A massive addition to the lineup. Hopefully it's dragging something with it. One could hope I guess.

If an interesting looking cloud appears then you might want to look out for Grizzly's. Hopefully, the storm clears by nightfall and a Nova is seen overhead. The show is shaping up well and if this is Blackjack then the show has 21 and it'll be anarchy. May the Griffons soar above the Thunderbolts, high where Artemis lives.
There was a lot to go over in that which me and some friends did and we had fun with it. With the first line we didn't think anything was there.
Lightning already in the forecast but how much is remained to be seen.
We guess that this means multiple F-35's apart from the ones already announced.
If an interesting looking cloud appears then you might want to look out for Grizzly's
Could an interesting cloud be a Typhoon or Tornado? Might Grizzly's be an A400 or Growlers?
Hopefully, the storm clears by nightfall and a Nova is seen overhead.
All we could see in this is an E-3

This has to be the RAF Eufi demo, right?
May the Griffons soar above the Thunderbolts, high where Artemis lives.
So many different interpretations for this but F-15C's from Fresno? More A-10's or F-15E's? Is Artemis Dutch F-35's or something Greek?


Regardless of what they are you provided a lot of fun for me an my friends.

Very nice! I wonder if they're considering separating the heavy and light static aircraft between two taxiways like was the norm pre-sequestration.

Wouldn't that be something. Would be great if they did. Use up all the space they have.

Awesome! I'm guessing the August edition of Red Flag got announced and Abby will maybe catch some European types before they head home. Fingers crossed

Unfortunately, it looks like it's an all American Red Flag in Nellis which started this past Friday. It ends the week of Abby and I was hoping for something from there to pop up here but it's just Barksdale B-52's, Seymour Johnson F-15E's and Langley F-22's. Nothing from overseas, not even a USAFE unit. Our only hope is a late arrival at Nellis which is unlikely or Red Flag: Alaska which starts the week after Abby but finding out units attending Alaska is very hard.

Right! Just saw that, must've just been confirmed recently because I checked Dreamland resort last week and it was still "unconfirmed".

I'm thinking Artemis is the new Canadian built UAV?

I am serious however as I've said before everything, especially Europeans, are up in the air. (Pun intended)
Last I checked the performer for that specific riddle is a 50/50. I'll take this time to remind people that with these riddles have fun and remember nothing in airshow is absolute. I've heard of that specific performer mentioned amongst others from Europe but that is the most likely from what I know.
