Last I heard is that the Strike Eagle passes and Randy Ball will be in the afternoon, Corsair demo in the morning. Not sure about the MiG-23 yet.

This makes it easy to skip TOM. I have already or will see everything listed by the time the show happens.

I really hope this isn't finalized. Especially disappointing that the MiG-23 isn't flying in any show.

Notable departure of the KC-10 from the list.

Also on the list on the website are two E-model Super Hornets out of Lemoore.
