To answer your first question, probably not. Since no one else was announced since last year I would think the lineup is already set in stone.

As for your second question, I presume the answer to that is yes. However, if the aircraft are parked where they were last year, I don't think you'd be allowed to take pictures... at least that's the impression the FBO gave my buddy and I after we flew up there for lunch.

I see you mentioned lunch. Do you know of any good places to eat in that area?

Sorry, I can't help you there.

The lineup is indeed set in stone as this will be a two-hour show slated to begin at 1:00 PM.

One year we were staging out of KMPO and I believe the next airshow was AVP. I believe it is AVP again.

So, the question was asked a while ago about being able to park outside of the Pocono Raceway for rehearsal day. I asked someone in the know and was told no.

This is going to be closed all day on Friday. Racetrack security and local law enforcement will ask you to leave.

My understanding is that the Pocono Raceway is not providing anyone access on Friday who isn't a member of the local media (television, radio, newspaper, etc.). It makes sense considering it is private property and they can dictate their own rules.

I guess that means I'll be spending Friday at AVP!

...came here for a show update only to find a weather forecast. :?:

My understanding is that there will be road closures around the Raceway both tomorrow and Friday. I wouldn't try it; they may try to get you on a criminal trespassing charge.
