I'm starting to wonder when we're going to start seeing additions to the flying and ground displays.

I know it's not for another 5 months, but it's already been 4 or 5 months since tickets went on sale. I'd have hoped we'd have heard some kind of news on other acts by now.

Anyone got any info?

Of course my computer is slow to load, so I didn't see the annoucement about the C-17 until after I posted this... Sigh...

I'm surprised that isn't shown on the ASL website, though.

NOW CONFIRMED:

✈️ USAF A-10C Thunderbolt II
Joining our ground display all weekend will be an A-10 from the 74th Fighter Squadron at Moody Air Force Base, Georgia! The Hog has been a crowd favorite in London, Ontario since the late 1970s.
