Whoa! So this and the 2 Bayou F-15s. Super cool! Is the F-15EX an official ACC Tac demo team?
No this is just the Boeing company demonstration. They are taking the show on the road to RIAT to try to sell the aircraft to countries.

And here I was just hoping we'd get one on static display. This show is going to be awesome!

Usually, the E-3 flybys are Saturday only. The A-10s will be both days as they've been cleared to fly a "show of force" demo.

The website has removed the F-15C from the performer's page. Does anyone have any information on this? An MC-130J was added to the performer's page.

The Bayou Eagles were pulled from another show. They might've been pulled from this one as well. They might've thought it was redundant with the Boeing demo happening.

As for the Herc, they had it listed in an email they sent out last week. I guess this is further confirmation.

Wait, there's more! They are announcing another demo tomorrow:

"What if we wanted to make one of the largest aerospace events in North America even bigger?! With some.. "special" flare?! 👀

We have one final demo announcement for you St. Louis! Check this space tomorrow at 0900 to see who joins the record-breaking lineup at #SpiritAirshow, June 8-9!"

This was posted on FB with a photo of an upgraded C-130H/LC-130H cockpit. They also confirmed the Bayou Eagles couldn't attend due to mission requirements.
