According to the Thunder over Michigan website, It looks like a few more aircraft were added:

(2) F-22A Raptor from Langley AFB (FF)
B-25J "Georgie's Gal"
CT-133 "Ace Maker III"
(2) F-15C from Kingsley Field ANGB OR
(2) F-15D from Kingsley Field ANGB OR
KC-10 Extender from Travis AFB CA
KC-135R from Fairchild WA
C-130J from Keesler AFB MS
C-130H3 from Peoria IL

For being 7 months out, this list is decently good but hoping much doesn't cancel due to the usual reasons.

Big push for statics this year since there's a lot more ramp space without the Blues. So far it's looking good!

The first of the "out of the ordinary" Mustangs - Dan Vance's P-51D 'Speedball Alice' has been added :D As far as I know in recent memory, she hasn't flown further than Idaho for Warhawk's roundups, and Reno for the races. She's a beauty!
