Plan for right now is that the show will continue with the CF-18 headlining.

Any update on whether or not they were able to find a replacement for the Snowbirds?

Its only been two weeks. Give it some time. I'm sure it'll show up here as soon as anyone knows anything.

It appears that the CF-18 team is repainting their aircraft for the 2022 season. It'll be great to be the first show where they show off their new aircraft.

Still nothing regarding a snowbirds replacement?

Time is slowly ticking but we have seen crazier things from the Yankee Air Museum...

Someone told me that this is now on the west side of the field (looking east) instead of where it and TOM have been in recent years. Did I miss that info?

I'd much rather have it over there since it wouldn't be backlit and it may happen since taxiway Hotel is closed until July 1st, but access over to the West Ramp is limited compared to the East Ramp.
