They get towed into the static area when they're not flying. So 4 total F-16's..again, as far as I know. Might have changed lately.

There will be no wall of fire or bomb bursts this year. No pyrotechnics, except maybe fireworks I think are still a go.

So that means there no longer four OK F-16's coming, but only two? There was originally supposed to be four with two of them being part of the NORAD demo.

I heard the same. Originally there was supposed to be 8 F-16's. 4 NORAD (OK), 2 demo (SW) and 2 static (CO) however if the NORAD is the static as well that means there is 2 USAF slot open that can be filled with what ever.

At this point in time, I think you're being highly optimistic that we'll get any more USAF slots filled. Especially in light of what they're actually adding to the statics (compared, again, to London and its announcement of an F-22 static). I will be happily proven wrong if Abby comes through with some late additions.

Look for at least 2 super hornets Wednesday late afternoon.

E6 mercury may have cancelled. They're working on filling static slots. Tough to say at this point what will show up.

Canadian C-130J may be needed for the fires.

Also looks like the DeHavilland Rapide from the historic flight foundation will be on display.

Let's see: CF-18s will be diverted to border patrol, and they'll intercept the RNLAF F-35s, preventing them from entering Canadian airspace. In a show of solidarity, USAF F-35s and F-16s will turn around and go home.

Okay, hopefully not that. But we're currently down to three heavies(?), and no bomber on static. Should still be a good arrivals day, unless my kidding above somehow actually happens.
