Glad to see some military participation back at Waukegan! Always a fun show that gets even better when the A-10 is involved.

AWESOME! I didn't think there was any chance of that. Maybe we'll get a four-ship Legacy Flight with the WHF Skyhawk and Corsair!

The Heritage Flight is slated to consist of the A-10 and P-51.

The Heritage Flight at Waukegan will consist the A-10 and two P-51s.

Nice! Hoping for a four-ship Legacy Flight including the Skyhawk and Corsair, too. This is shaping up to be a good one.
