    I think we should start a pool, $5 a guess on how many "PM's" Fred will receive that say, "You can tell me, you can trust me, I won't tell.... I promise"

    F-18 Demo. Buster from AAM Ops has already mentioned that on ASB. Funding for the demo teams was approved when Congress signed the CR the night of the pending shutdown. NAVAIR is still holding off on releasing the sched to month by month.

    (Unless of course Derf has some knowledge of a Retro painted Prowler that may make an appearence?. Heck I'll even settle for the retro Growler!)

    Chris B will have his P-51 at the AAM and he is bringing along the rest of the Warrior Demo Team (a gloss black L-39 with the Wounded Warrior logo on the tail).

    That was not what I was hush hush about tho....stay tuned folks!

    Well if we do get the F-18 demo it will be a Legacy Demo with the museums Corsair. Hopefully they can get everything sorted out before airshow.

    Well it looks like if the Navy doesn't clear up the problem with the demo team we wont have an F-18 Demo this year.

    After the last info on the F-18 demo, that may be about it.... There is also going to be a pair of static aircraft (not saying) and possible one other thing(s) but it that looks iffy at best. The F-18 demo is what had me drooling but I will not go into any further info on that

    Well, even if the Navy doesn't clear the F-18 Demo team to do their regular demo,
    there's good chance they'll still come up to do a Legacy flight with the Corsair at least,
    because that's exactly what VFA-106 did last week at the Beaufort show with their
    special BLUE Centennial F-18 and a Corsair

    Oh and BTW, The Beale show had a surprise appearance by the B1-B last week also
    Here's a video of it and it's last high speed with the roll at the end is just AWESOME !!

    So keep your fingers crossed everyone !!!
