If this works out, which I will know in the next day or so, I will be coming early. I was just trying to figure out when to fly back, and wondering if I would miss much flying home Sunday the 1st. Thanks again.

It's great you would be there for full event! The first Saturday and Sunday are both pretty busy for arrivals, and more relaxed (for me at least) because there is no particular schedule or show planned. There are some arrivals that Friday but I'm not sure how busy it gets.

The final Sunday of the show is a ghost town. You can pretty much show up as the show starts and still get a front row spot, and the show starts and ends earlier than the other days. They do usually find some cool things to work into the show, especially some of the statics or warbirds departing which might get time for a flyby or two. I usually stick around until the last new/cool thing and then start the journey home.

If it greatly simplifies your travel plans, I think you can plan to leave Sunday without much guilt. On the other hand, you can sometimes catch stuff like this:

The Warbirds in Review schedule is traditionally announced around this time. That will give us more of an idea on what specific featured warbirds to expect. Hopefully we'll know more in the next couple weeks. From what I've heard, Dakota Territory Air Museum should be sending a good selection of aircraft from their collection.

If I remember correctly a lot of the excitement for military confirmation builds in the last few weeks before the show. The last couple years, the airboss has been on The Green Dot podcast and shared a lot of the expected military arrivals, departures and more.

Wouldn't be surprised to see the A-10 since it was canceled at another airshow the weekend of July 31st / Aug. 1st.
