So no F-35B at MCAS Cherry Point?

The Marines don't list their own shows on the schedule, I'm sure there will be one at the MCAS shows as well

Updated the list because the Marines apparently elevated the alternate shows to normal shows (pending squadron availability). I also added the MCAS shows.

Just want to clarify something. In the original post you had all of the alternate sites listed separately and one is missing from the update you made (Johnson City, NY on July 6-7). Did that get removed or is that still on there?

It doesn't appear on the latest copy of the list that went out today, so I assume it has been removed. The Marines are not very clear, unfortunately.

Thanks so much, Ryan. You've confirmed one thing that I find very suspect.

Because the alternative gigs were allegedly encouraged by the Marines above normal concerts, we revised the roster (subject to squadron availability). The MCAS shows were also featured.
