It's essentially a version of the old format where you park, and can walk up and sit behind the blue zone if you want for cheaper.

Dakota Territory Air Museum’s P-47D Thunderbolt added.
The P-47 was the theme aircraft for the 2008 show and the Tennessee Museum of Aviation twins used to make numerous appearances at the show over the years.

The $99 seats are not a whole lot different from those ball diamonds a few meters away. There's a treeline, but it's workable for $0.

The gap in between shows tells me the all day pass is essentially an unvitation.

I think TOM must still be riding the coattails of the 2020 show, which was maybe the only time the two-part show felt ok (two demo teams).

It's a shame because this year's lineup is looking really good.

Wes Stowers P-51D 'Aint' Misbehavin' as well James Bohannon's P-51D 'Glamorous Glen III' added. Just missing P-51D 'Old Crow' to match the six 357th Mustangs that were at TOM 2019, and the goal is to have a couple more than that. There are 14 flying in North America, 8-10 is looking promising.

Is the C-17 on the aircraft list the East Coast Demo team?

I know when it was at Selfridge, it was from Charleston.

Don't believe so, but there should end up being more than just the Raptor demo.

In addition to performing the single-ship demonstration, the F-22 Raptor will also perform a Heritage Flight (TBD).
