There's a possibility that Greg Colyer will be performing his two-ship act with Rob "Scratch" Mitchell.

Should be noted that in the section that says "PERFORMANCES, STATIC DISPLAYS, ACTIVITIES & CONCESSIONS ARE THE SAME EACH DAY." is a fixed-wing aircraft, helicopter and skydivers of the Red Bull Air Force which I feel is impossible since Kirby, Aaron and the skydivers will be at Barksdale AFB that same weekend. Also listed is the KC-135 and EA-18G. Not sure if the EA-18G is the EA-18G Growler Legacy Team or if the Growler along with the KC-135 are for static display.

Would the KC-135 be a performer as well?
