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 ?

FB Page for "Thunder" has posters saying no they arent performing!! Just checked the Official Snowbird page and nothing listed foir June 26.

As much as I love both teams(wait is this flame-retardant suit zipped up? Yeah it's zipped up), it would be nice to see something crazy for a change. Crazy like oh, a MiG-29 or Su-30 demo, they got the B-1, how about a Tu-160 flyby

[Bones]

Now that would be interesting,LOL!!!

According to the official NAVY TAC DEMO schedule just posted on their website,
Atlantic City will be getting the F-18C Legacy Hornet Demo from VFA-106.

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?

[megatop412]

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

[Chris S]

I agree, Jim Beasley's Spitfire and Mustang demos are a AMAZING and REAL treat to see !!
FYI, according to the USAF Heritage Foundation the HF will probably be 2 - P-51s

Best news I've heard all day! Thanks for the update Chris!

The term "Thunder" for this year is misleading!! I was really looking forward to this but lack of any military hardware and the date change to Mid-week june made
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!!
