I was thinking about it, but would’ve been embarrassed if it wasn’t who I thought it was, haha!

I'll do the best I can. Here is the performer list based on a published schedule of events and my photos (in order):
- P-47/A-10, P-51/F-16, P-38/F-15 flypasts (This was the first for these flypasts that would turn into the Heritage Flight program)
- Parachute teams (USAF Stars and Wings of Blue)
- Chilean Halcones
- Trainer Aircraft Review (T-38/T-37/T-33/T-6 x7/PT-17)
- F-16 TAC demo
- Cargo & Tanker Aircraft Review (C-17 demo/C-5/C-141/C-130/KC-10/KC-135/C-121/C-54/C-46)
- Reconnaisance Aircraft Review (SR-71 multiple passes)
- Brazilian Esquadrilha da Fumaca
- Ground Attack Aircraft Review *
- A-10 TAC demo
- HH-60 demo
- Japanese Blue Impulse
- F-15 TAC demo
- Vintage Fighter Review *
- CAF Snowbirds
- Bomber Aircraft Review (B-52/B-1B/B-17/B-24/B-25/A-26)
- Stealth Review (B-2/F-117)
- USAF Thunderbirds

* not sure what these consisted of exactly but, based on my photos, the following flew a some point in the show: F-4/F-86 x3/MiG-15/P-51 x5/P-47/P-40/P-38/Spitfire/Me109.

Statics were insane. Heavies included: C-5/C-141/C-17/KC-10/KC-135/multiple C-130s (as many as 7)/E-3/E-8/E-9/RC-135/U-2/SR-71/B-2/B-1B/B-52/VC-10. Other highlights were the YF-22 mock-up, NASA F-15, QF-4, QF-106 and F-104. Many other current USAF fighter/trainer types and a slew of warbirds of all types were on static as well. It was amazing!

Wow

That is an insane lineup, would have been a true sight to see. The only modern show that even comes anywhere close is probably RIAT, shows in the US have become tamer.

Thanks for the detailed response!

The Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) team put on a good demo. Their squadron tent was well stocked with merchandise. Same for the other squadrons.

A lot of great photos already and they cover most of the waterfront. Here's 2 more that are a little different.
