Last year, there was a long & juicy list of aircraft participating in the flyover that turned out to be highly inaccurate (this year's list has yet to be released). I wouldn't be surprised if some of the events listed below were to be canceled, but hey, we can always hope for the best. Regardless, it should be a great week!
