I did some internet sleuthing (aka research) and came across a Facebook Event Page hosted by David Schultz Airshows (attached below).

It appears the show has already had their winter visit by the team. Can't wait to see what's in store for next year's airshow. I took my father to the 2021 event when it was a drive-in show with the Thunderbirds and we both enjoyed the one day we had up there - thank god we only had tickets for Saturday because Sunday's airshow was cancelled.

It'll be good to see Sentimental Journey; it's been 20+ years since I last saw her.

The performer lineup looks good. A little like some of the other shows Dave has, but that's okay. The MQ-9 demo should be interesting!

I think you didn't answer the question or didn't interpret the question correctly.

I think the first time a Reaper was demonstrated at an airshow was in New Mexico and it too was a Schultz show.

Cannon 2016. Up until this upcoming season, Reapers and the like could only be showcased at places where they were based. That has changed for this upcoming season but the request process is a really lengthy process. Eventually, you’ll see it more often but I feel like this is the “test year” for it.
