US Navy F-35C demo team could cover that base. Or one of the KLU Dutch F-35's that are still around in California.

Soon we're gonna be sick of the "Battle Penguin" since so many NATO countries are buying them.

True on both counts!

My understanding for the change of date was so airshow could accommodate the Thunderbirds but I could be wrong. It’s really interesting to see Seafair and Abbotsford on the same weekend but I’m hoping that’s positive rather than a negative!

Will be nice to see the Skyhawks again.

I enjoyed Jodi Ruger last time (as much as I can enjoy any civilian act).

Has the US Navy demo schedule been announced yet? Adding a F-35C or Growler demo would take this lineup from Good to Great.

Thunderbirds will only be performing on Saturday and Sunday. Also, something new this year will be the North Star Drone show which will be featured on Friday night.

So, where did this list come from? The Abby website has no performer or ticket info. Hopefully they are waiting on a few special confirmations before announcing and putting the 60th anniversary show on sale.

The performers page is actively being updated but just not linked yet on the airshows home page. I reckon that'll be changed once they get a few Insider Announcements out.
