Personally I don't for see a B-2, B-1, or B-52 happening this year. The only time I recall them having one of those was a B-1B Lancer, I believe either 2011 or 2012?

Milwaukee is notorious for wishlisting all sorts of cool stuff and then pulling them off the list at the last second and blaming operational commitments

As others have said, Milwaukee is notorious for overpromising on military aircraft. Outside of the bombers, the fly-bys look fairly realistic since they incorporate local units. The CAF Zero and Hellcat might be legit as well, as their airshow schedule currently lists Thunder Over Michigan and Oshkosh - although neither show has announced them yet.
