Does this mean the F-16 that replaced the F-35 stays?

Susan Dacy will no longer be performing, in her place will be Erik Edgren and his T Clip Taylorcraft

Can somebody please advise what the layout is for this event? Where do cars park and which direction do they face?

Thank you

This is the best i can remember from 2014, the red circle is where we drove in, the orange box was the crowd and parking and the blue line is where the blues parked. How it’s going to look this year I’m not exactly sure.

Thank you both. The show finally got back to me and Nate, you're right, parking is to the north of terminal on grass. Should be good lighting for most of the show.

Here's a satellite view of the La Crosse air show in 2005 with the Thunderbirds. It was a decade and a half ago but this should give you an idea of the scale and layout...

Practice show went well today, surprise addition to the show was the KC-135 Demo from the Wisconsin Air National Guard. It was pretty sweet seeing Bert again, and the Blues with their new jets were loud as hell. Can’t wait for the show tomorrow!!
