This show is nuts!

Edit: This is Fagen Fighters' Hellcat

Hellcat is a great addition! It's been a while since I've seen one fly in an airshow. I have a feeling we're going to lose the P-38 due to the engine issue on the way to Duluth. Hopefully that's not the case, but if so, plenty of time to find something else to take its place. Even without it, this is the most well-rounded lineup I'm likely to see this year.

That's my hope, but I'm not sure if it's been annualed, etc.

Haven't seen this announced elsewhere (unless I missed it), but there is an A-10 on the performers page now.
