Really hope to see some tac demo teams show up. I see the F35A demo team is scheduled, would be nice to see at least one more; Viper West, West Coast Rhino, F-22 demo team. Hell, the Growler team isn’t even showing up, and they’re like 50 miles away.

Don’t know how likely this is though with most every military team having their schedules already released.

Nice to see some additions to this one. I have seen the 109, but not in the air yet, and I haven't seen "Ye Olde Pub" in those markings or the P-51 or B-25. Wouldn't mind a few more military aircraft in the air, but this looks good. Still planning to make this one part of my vacation!

Doesn't look like the F-35A Demo Team will be attending.

Nice to finally have a real page to follow for this. Clearly under construction, but looking forward to more details.

This is looking really good. Thunderbirds, C-17, helicopters, Tora, Yellow Thunder, Acemaker and the Erickson and POF warbirds are a solid lineup. Positive news on the B-17 front as well as it looks like Ye Olde Pub isn't affected by the B-17 AD, meaning this should be one of few shows to boast a B-17 appearance this year:

If accurate, the static list also looks great:
