Nice to see the Chesterfield show back. That's always a good one.

Surprised that Cherry Point isn’t on here. Maybe they’ll acquire the Thunderbirds, but I doubt it. In 2014, the show went on without the Blue Angels, so I’m guessing that’s what will happen again. They have an arsenal of military displays without them.

Updated the initial post as the dates have now been 'confirmed', although I still expect a couple to change. It is stupid for the teams to say 'for 2022 dates check our website' yet they have outdated or incomplete information there...

As I suspected, the Oregon International Airshow in McMinnville confirmed that they will have the Thunderbirds (switched from Chicago) but not the Blue Angels - sorry everyone who wanted a double-team show. The Blue Angels did not bother to release an updated 2022 schedule today (in fact their site had/has the 2021 show dates mis-labeled as 2022) so they have not confirmed where they will be going instead. I suspect they will take Chicago from the Tbirds but we'll see.
