Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the latest emails, they say that there are now 14 hornets for the show, but I only count 11. Are the 3 missing the Growlers that canceled? The email came out after the growlers went missing from the website

Are there any good spot to watch outside the ticketed viewing area?
Are many roads around the airport closed off during the show?
You may be able to get into fanshawe conservation area and park on road near dam to watch

CAF demo jet + spare =2
USN F-18E =2
Blue Angels 6 +2 spares= 8
RCAF refuelling demo =2

I know CF18 Demo. Snowbirds and Blue Angels have arrived. Any other updates?

Thanks everybody for any info.

There will be a practice from noon to 5pm (including the Blues at 3:30 which people can see if they get there early - gates open at 3)

The Northern Stars Aerobatic Team was just announced as a last minute addition - two Pitts biplanes flown by ex-Snowbirds I believe.

Thanks Ryan, you are correct Northern Stars are ex-Snowbirds. They put on a really nice demo, saw them at Brantford in 2019.

Also happy to see Raging Bulls Super Hornets have been added to the ASL app.
