Yeh, you’re right it’s just we haven’t seen them all in one place since the ( hopefully temporary ) demise of the Flying Collection's Flying Legends show. Off of the top of my head we probably have 4/5 airworthy in the UK ( stand by to be corrected ) plus more in Europe but don’t recall seeing them altogether for a long time. Maybe the newly relaunched Flying Legebds will see a long awaited reunion. 🤞🏻
Either way, looking forward to seeing some at March later this month. 👍🏻

I live pretty close by and I go to March anytime they have one for about 5 years now, absolutely a good show, I would have reccommend Planes of Fame's airshow down at Chino as well since they fly a TON of warbirds (including the only A6M with its original engine!) but it seems like they're unable to hold the show anymore which is a shame.

Agree. I really good and varied show.
Looking forward to see the P of F stable being able to stretch their legs as well as the Sabre/Mig-15 and Mustangs. Have never seen the Patriots but interested in comparing with the European Breitling Team.

Very solid schedule with a good variety of military demo teams, warbirds, and one-off things like the B-1 and refueling demo's.

Looking forward to this one!

They updated the performer page with a section near the bottom "Air Force Flyby". A-10, F-16 and F-35 are noteworthy that haven't been previously announced. 8-)

👍🏻👍🏻

…. And Sentimental Journey has squeaked in to the static list too. ( Again, a novelty for us UK based visitors with just Memphis Belle based in the UK.)
