It's probably safe to say there'll be a C-17 on display since they're based there. Otherwise, I'd be asking that question a few weeks before the event.

I heard about a MIg 17, and do you know where the displays will be?

According to David Schultz' post from January, there are no MiGs showing up.

The airshow looks like it'll be held on the civilian side of KMRB owing to the fact that tickets are required for entry.

We are still gaining static displays for the airshow. We've confirmed an MV-22B, MH-53E, SH-60S, T-1A, T-6A, C-130J, C-17A, A-10Cs, UH-60L, UH-72A and F-35Bs. There will be several warbirds on display as well: B-25J, DC-3, TBM-3, SNJ, and a variety of others.

We have a lot of requests in for the weekend and expect to add the more as we get closer. The event is on the south side of the airport which will allow for some good photo angles with the sun behind the crowd most of the day.

More information will be posted on our social media as we get it.

Mr. Schultz and his team are the organizers for this show, so that info is coming straight from the boss! ;)

Stay safe,
