Anyone know more arrival/practice timing info? Specifically Tbirds and CF-18?

I believe both arrived yesterday afternoon. AA has a video up of them up surveying already- you'll see the CF-18 team parked next to them towards the end.

Yes, thanks. Sorry, I did catch the Thunderbirds arrival yesterday - typically they'll do a full practice show before the show day. Weather permitting, wondering if they still plan on doing that and if it would be today or tomorrow before the twilight show.

Clearly they are re-jigging the schedule last minute and I'm hoping this isn't final, but if you go to the website they have the acts listed for today and the NORAD display has been removed (along with the snowbirds of course)
Anyone know anything about it?

Edit: AIA ig says the US C17 is now performing all 3 days

The NORAD flight still looks there to me.

Also, looks like they added a C-17 Demo by the USAF.

Speaking of which... here's the departure from yesterday!



CF18 practice demo video isn't done rendering this morning before I have to leave.

There's also going to be a Royal Canadian Air Force Heritage Flight featuring the CF-18 Hornet and T-33 Shooting Star.

Have they split the CF-18 and F-15C performances up on the app (from the NORAD formation)? Perhaps indicating that we will get a few more individual passes from each before they get together for the formation pass?
