I've never been to this show and may attend - mainly because of the rarity of seeing a Harrier demo - and the F-22 being there helps!

Do the acts perform right over Burke Lakefront Airport or is the aerobatic box extended further over the lake and hence the acts?

For newbies to this show, the USAF acts will stage out of Hopkins (Cleveland regular airport). You can spot at either the Aviator restaurant (old bomb squadron restaurant) on northern side or Heartland office bldg. on the Southern side of the airport.

Louisiana ANG F-15Cs added to performers. Stated as 'fly-by'.

Just got the email saying they are schedule to perform "a fly-by" each day. Hopefully, they perform more than one. Awesome addition! Really looking forward to all the fighter action!

Amazing. Best Cleveland line-up in years. Hell yeah.

Edit: I was wrong. I just can’t count. Lol.

I'm sure it's going to be similar to Dayton where the F-15s did multiple flybys for a good amount of time.

Also, does anyone know if the F-22 will do flare dumps over the lake?

Glad the Bayou boys are finally confirmed. That was the unnamed performer I referenced recently. Talked to the pilots at Dayton and they said they would be there. Was surprised how long the show waited to announce that.

They said they were bringing at least two jets and hoping for four. Not sure where they landed on that, but a 4 ship would be awesome. In that case I wonder if it would be 2 for the fly-bys and pattern work and then the other 2 for the refueling demo with the KC-135. Regardless, this lineup is absolutely stacked. Best Cleveland airshow lineup I can remember over the last 20 or so years.
