Article says they do not have FAA approval yet? Ten days away?

I'll be outside the airport on Friday afternoon, with the family outside the airport on Saturday, then going in to the show on Sunday with my son. The lineup is good, IMO, but a bit on the lighter side. Maybe we'll see some last minute additions, maybe not. Either way, it'll be nice being able to see the Blue Angels again. Plus, the F-16 Viper Demo and the Growler (never seen one before) should be awesome, too.

I have heard the Class of 45 will be flying and there will be Legacy flights by both the Air Force AND the Navy! I can't say I have ever seen them both fly at the same show. I will be inside both days, have not been to a show since Miramar 2019.

A single Grumman C-2 Greyhound from VRC-40 "Rawhides" based out of NAS Norfolk, VA will be serving as the jump platform for the SOCOM ParaCommandos for the weekend. Additionally, Coast Guard Station Miami will participate in a Search & Rescue demonstration utilizing the MH-65 Dolphin helicopter.

Wishing you all a fun time! Sounds like a great lineup. Is it possible to get any discounts? My son is in Young Eagles. Could that get him a discount?
Thank you

Viper Demo Team posted they will be practicing on Friday at 1:55 pm. I plan to be in the area and hope to catch Venom and, hopefully, the Blue Angels.

Pretty impressive lineup I must say considering the low static count.

I've never been to this show, whats the best place in the area to watch outside airport property? Might want to catch a glimpse Saturday before I head in Sunday.
