Theme Aircraft will be the F-16 Fighting Falcon.
Plenty of good warbirds to go along with the modern theme aircraft too!

What exactly is a "Theme Aircraft"? this may be a dumb question but I have no idea what this is, im a first timer for this show. I would assume there would be quite a few vipers showing up though?Bretten Bailey wrote: ↑Mon Oct 09, 2023 10:42 pm Theme Aircraft will be the F-16 Fighting Falcon.

That is correct. The "theme aircraft" is the aircraft that will serve as the focal point of the event. The overall theme is "Famous Fighters" which will be anchored by the F-16. Many other famous fighters throughout history will also be present.columbus_spots wrote: ↑Mon Oct 23, 2023 1:33 pmWhat exactly is a "Theme Aircraft"? this may be a dumb question but I have no idea what this is, im a first timer for this show.

Just got this email from TOM, same drive-in format, 2 shows/day. Makes no difference to me, I'll be at Oshkosh.

It appears TOM is actively shadow banning ALL negative comments on their Facebook page. As someone who routinely attends airshows alone or with one additional family member the drive-in format is a non-starter for me. TOM's answer is to offer a $285 club ticket (at the time of this post) for individuals which is a step in the right direction. I'm also seeing some comments (before they disappear) that the price is changing minute-to-minute which seems a little scammy...this isn't Uber TOM surge pricing isn't cool for them either! The one bonus of the expensive club ticket is that it's an all day ticket meaning the stupid 4 individual show format is a little less impactful.
