For statics, I would guess: 2 F-22's, Shaw will send F-16, probably B-1 and B-52, maybe an F-35.

I doubt the Navy will send anything, but possible.

Lets hope for good "W" this year.

I think last 2 airshows were a wash out on 1 of the 2 days.

My cameras were damaged by rain on Saturday in 2018.

I wonder if the aircraft enclosures will be on the airshow grounds this year.

Hope the jets stage from in front of crowd line and not from the aircraft enclosures if they are not on the airshow grounds.

Will the F-22 Demo Team stage from in-front of crowd line?

I love watching the ground show with the salutes.

West ramp confirmed.
Due to the show center being on the West ramp this year, FREE parking will be located in various locations, both on and off base.
Parking info updated:
The first registrants will receive parking passes for on base. Once those spots are full, registrants will receive parking passes for off base.
If you receive an on-base parking pass, play close attention to which gate to enter; it will be either Armistead Gate or LaSalle Gate.
Armistead and LaSalle gates will open at 9 a.m. for Air Show attendees with on-base parking passes.
The King Street Gate will be closed to the public.
If you receive an off-base parking pass, pay close attention to which lot your pass if for; it will either be at the Hampton Coliseum or the Virginia Peninsula Community College.
The off-base lots will open at 8 a.m. and transportation to the event will begin at 8:45 a.m.
Once registered, the parking pass and email instructions will indicate which lot to park in. If your parking spot is off base, you will report directly to that lot and not come through the base gates.
My parking passes for Saturday & Sunday contain no information on where to go.

Re-download your passes from the link you got when you ordered them, they should be updated. I had the same thing.

Just done, updated pass with LaSalle Gate. Nice heads-up, thanks.

Unrelated to parking passes but looks like foreigners will get a special line to enter:
*Anyone who is not a lawful permanent resident of the United States or who is a Non-US citizen will have a separate area for entering the flight line. Follow Air Show directional signs to the search location where a designated area for signing in will take place.
