Does anyone know what Airport the Thunderbirds will be flying in and out of during this show? Will it be Lehigh Valley or Avoca?

My guess is that the Thunderbirds will be staging out of Avoca.
Today the show's website added Charles Lynch in the FG-1D Corsair "Godspeed" and Mark Murphy in the A6M2 Zero "Last Samurai" performing a dogfight demo!

Update on tickets from an email sent by the Pocono Raceway I just received:
IMPORTANT EVENT TICKET UPDATE FOR 200-LEVEL AIRSHOW TICKET HOLDERS
Due to the potential of inclement weather this weekend, we want to inform you of your option to attend either show date of Saturday, August 21 or Sunday, August 22. Your current tickets will be honored at the gate, regardless of the event date indicated on your tickets. As of today, both event days and programming remain on as originally scheduled.
This decision was made in effort to provide you and your guests the time to plan your weekend and trip to The Great Pocono Raceway Airshow accordingly. The same two hour and 30-minute program and performers will be featured both days.
Your current seat assignment(s) will NOT change, regardless of the event day you originally purchased.
You will NOT need to be reissued new tickets. You may use your current tickets sent to you upon purchase.
Your tickets will be scanned upon entry on the one event date of your choosing. Tickets will not be valid for gate admission entry on the second event day.
Parking remains at $10 for cars and $20 for oversized-vehicles, and is CASH only. No refunds will be provided for parking either day. Parking must be paid for each day you intend to visit Pocono Raceway for “The Great Pocono Raceway Airshow.”
If need be, we will make announcements regarding event changes on the day of each event. In full transparency, there are many factors at play when it comes to potential event delays and any possible cancelations. David Schultz Airshows and the United States Air Force Thunderbirds are the parties overseeing all event-related changes or adjustments to the Airshow schedule. As a ticket holder, Pocono Raceway will relay any information we receive directly to you via email immediately.
Pocono Raceway will contact you should there be any further updates prior to your arrival to our venue this weekend. We take pride in our long-standing tradition of treating guests the right way and making event decision in our guests’ best interest. This not only applies to guest safety, but also to ticket-related circumstances should an event be postponed, delayed, or canceled.
If you have any questions, please reach out to us and a member of Raceway staff will respond. You can reply to this email or email [email protected].
Thank you and see you soon!
Ben May
President
Pocono Raceway

Final schedule update, this poor show can't catch a break. I am still thrilled to see the new Thunderbirds routine in person though!
