They still might get the Snowbirds since they had a "TBD for June 26th" on the schedule
they posted at ICAS in December and I also heard the CF-18 Demo could be there also ? :confused:
FB Page for "Thunder" has posters saying no they arent performing!! Just checked the Official Snowbird page and nothing listed foir June 26.Quote:

I'm lookin forward to it! Hope to see some of you guys down there!
I'm surprised that the USAF Heritage Flight is still listed. Maybe a surprise is in the works?
I'm tempted to go see that Spitfire and Mustang again. Now what would be REALLY nice would be an air to air shoot with those babies
I agree, Jim Beasley's Spitfire and Mustang demos are a AMAZING and REAL treat to see !! :cool:
FYI, according to the USAF Heritage Foundation the HF will probably be 2 - P-51s :wink:
Best news I've heard all day! Thanks for the update Chris!Quote:

my decision to let this go was easy!! Too bad as the last three years that I went I had a blast, staying a few nights in A/C. It was a perfect end to the summer to compliment Jones Beach at the beginning!!
DAMN YOU SEQUESTER!! :mad:

Here is the current line-up:
To clarify this is not the USMC Harrier demo but rather the civilian Sea Harrier demonstration.Quote:
