I talked to a TBM pilot with the CAF at JB Charleston who said there are currently 15 TBMs registered including his.

One week out for me!
Unfortunately we are down one TBM already - the one that crash in Arizona I believe just a couple days ago.

From what Brad posted on Facebook he is not sure how room they are going to have to park all the aircraft that are coming in.

There will be lots of aircraft for sure!
Back up to 15 TBMs. The final one is one still in sprayer configuration (and possibly the only one still in it). Brad is excited about it because TBMs becoming a spraying platform are the reason why so many survived to still fly today. Will be unique to see!

I had this schedule sent to me through FB. Looks like some very nice flying if it pans out!
I hit the road tonight.

Looks like a great lineup! Wings of the North posted on Facebook that they are bringing the P-51, F4U-4, TBM and a "special guest," which is probably the TBM in the photo they posted.
Planning on being there early Saturday and staying until we're forced to leave.
