2024 Spirit of St Louis Air Show & STEM Expo

With the A-10, I wouldn't be surprised if it is just an arrival for static with a flyby like the P-8, that might make it count as a flying demo as it is also on their static page. I noticed they are also showing the EP-3E on the static page even though they said it had changed to a P-3C on their Instagram. Not sure whether the web page people are talking to the rest of the planning team, but they should really work on consistent messaging.

Probably a misprint if I had to guess. It's worth noting here that the P-8 has been announced as doing an actual demo. The only way I could imagine the A-10 being listed as a performer if it's just meant to be there as a static is if they couldn't get there before the show so they were showing up during the day on Saturday.
