Not sure what you mean, why would it be in doubt? The F-35 cancelled some shows but TOM wasn't one of them. I haven't heard of any concerns about canceling more

An hour and a half should be enough time for Mitchell Madness (30-45min), Growler/Legacy (20min), A400M (15min); add in one or two surprises that Tom Walsh alluded to on FB and we get a packed 2/2.5 hours. Very rapid fire, but should work.RyanS wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 7:56 pmWith only about two hours of flying, I'm wondering how much they will try to cram in. If you figure the F-35 takes 30 minutes and the Thunderbirds take an hour, that's only an hour and a half to fly all of the B-25s, the Growler/Legacy Flight, and whatever else. TOM is kind of known for having lulls in the action as aircraft taxi and such; they will have to work on that to make the best use of the limited window, especially with what they are charging.smalldude333 wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 7:28 pm Website is updated but still no Aircraft List up. Can't wait to see the list of aerial displays this year. As mentioned on their website and kind of obvious, there will be a lot more aerial flybys and performances.

They have the Thunderbirds listed along with listing the F16s that they will fly. Same with the F35 demo team, it is listed as the demo and as a separate aircraft. As for new aditions, there are 4 Texans and they have 3 Growlers slated to fly. I assume one of those will fly the Demo, as the demo is on the list and they are from VAQ-129. But you guys can take a look at the list and see what I am talking about.

There shouldn't be many more big additions to the show because of the short time they have, but it would be nice to get some support from near by military Bases.

I'd really love to attend but $165 for half a day of flying for just me isn't worth it. I do hope some non-drive-in style shows are available for those of us that don't have a carload of aviation-minded friends.

Take-off Time and Betty's Dream are pretty special considering Tom Duffy doesn't normally do airshows and the last Mitchell gathering it attended was almost a decade ago, and Betty's Dream is specifically getting back in the air for TOM after being down for a few years during the TFLM fallout and trying to sell it.smalldude333 wrote: ↑Mon May 10, 2021 10:31 am Another Mitchell Confirmed, The Dakota Territory Air Museum's B-25J "Betty's Dream".

Just a heads up, the main runway at YIP is under construction until September 15th 2021. Airshow arrivals will either land 27 or 23R, but 23R is much narrower than Runway 27, so many may land on 27.
