Looks like the website has been updated. Nothing added in terms of performers just yet (That comes Monday and beyond lol). Lots of "info coming soon" under most sections.

Looks like they will be offering camping for the first time. There is a link to register:

Looking forward to seeing what they can get for performers. I know it has lacked some US Military aircraft the last couple of shows. Hope that changes and we get some of our friends from the south to attend!

Snowbirds & CF-18 confirmed!

This show needs to actually get their head out of their a== and actually create a real website with some actual information. Outdated FB and Twitter links, it appears this show is going to repeat the last show they had which wasn't much to talk about if it happens at all

[Bretten Bailey]

Added to lineup:

-Scott "Scooter" Yoak in the P-51 Mustang "Quick Silver"
-Jim Tobul in the F4U Corsair "Korean War Hero"
-Vampire Airshows featuring Jerry Conley in the DH-115 Vampire
-Brent Handy Aerobatics in the Pitts S-2S

More to be announced soon!

*EDIT MAY 2018 - Vampire will NOT be Jerry Conley now but instead Waterloo Warbirds. The Class of '45 will not be performing this year and have been removed from the lineup*

So they launch ticket sales showing the same 2 performers they have shown for months.Half the Twitter and Facebook links point to defunct GLIAS2016 non existent pages.These people need to give their heads a shake and get a little more organised.

Nice additions! Will this be a prop heavy show, or will there be a good mix of both jet and prop aircraft?

If you'd happen to know that'd be awesome!

Apparently the Waterloo Warbirds will also be at this show. My god about 3 months to the show and the website is still pathetic.It seems they aren't interested in promoting the show.

They definitely need to work on that...

According to the Great Lakes International Airshow facebook page, they will be making a "whack" of aircraft announcements soon. It will be interesting what they announce, as not much has been released by the show (Only Snowbirds and CF-18 demo), and also to what Bretten has added as well.
