Now I might be overstepping my boundaries here, but our demo team contingency might just be better than pre-sequestration. TWO F-35 teams and a GROWLER TEAM?!?! You're kidding. I LOVE IT!!!

Lots of people getting carried away with this today (not so much here but on Facebook for sure). All indications are this will be at most a non-aerobatic "mini-demo" tacked on to a Legacy Flight.
I am 100% not complaining about that - the Growler was awesome last year and I'm glad to see it continue! But no one has said they will be flying a full on aerobatic routine and in fact VFA-106 (now the Rhino Demo Team) was extremely adamant that they are the only aerobatic demo. This is probably a minimal change in reality.

The Growler was definitely cool last year. If the "mini demo" is similar to what happened at Nellis, I'm totally fine with that!RyanS wrote: ↑Wed Feb 12, 2020 6:31 pm Lots of people getting carried away with this today (not so much here but on Facebook for sure).

More of my take on the news: https://airshowstuff.com/v4/2020/meet-t ... tion-team/
I confirmed that they are not flying any particular demonstration profile, but they are hoping to tack extra passes on to Legacy Flights whenever they can. Overall it is definitely a good thing!
