Here's the 2020 schedule for US Navy Super Hornet Demonstrations, recently re-styled as the Rhino Demonstration Team.

This list is specifically fully aerobatic demos flown by VFA-106. There will be other dates announced for Legacy Flights and F-35C Lightning II demonstrations.

Thanks a lot Ryan. I look forward to the eventual releases of the Legacy Flight and F-35C schedules.

I've seen a few comments from people elsewhere that Sun n Fun and Yuma are both advertising a Super Hornet performance despite not appearing on this schedule. While it is possible that VFA-122 or VAQ-129 shows up to do a Legacy Flight, they are not flying full demos this year. Some shows till might call it one and certainly the Growler did not disappoint last year, but it's not a full demo.

It's not clear yet on whether these shows were surprised to be left off the schedule or are simply not being completely clear with their marketing.

I'm surprised that Sun-N-Fun didn't get a Super Hornet Demo, especially since they don't have any other US Navy participation. Yes, their information lists a Super Hornet demo. I assume they will have the Legacy Flight, so at least they could have a Super/Growler. We'll wait and see.
