Supposedly Rod isn't sending anything? Interesting, thought GG or Balls Out would add to the lineup, also interesting that Erickson isn't sending Tangerine or the 47 as they supported Chino last year.

Via Facebook, Stu Dawson will be flying an aerobatic performance in one of Rod Lewis' Tigercats ("Here Kitty, Kitty").

Also via Facebook, there are four P-38's that will be flying in the show ("White 33", "23 Skidoo", "Thoughts of Midnite" and Collings'), four-five P-40's and two P-47's (including "Dottie Mae").

As "Swamp Fox", yes I believe so, but if you recall, that airframe was the second Jack Croul/Allied Fighters P-51D (based at Chino), prior to it being sold to the current owner, Robert Dickson. The last bit of its restoration was completed at Fighter Rebuilders and it did its test flights at Chino, as well as a photo-shoot with Jack Croul's other P-51D (which was later sold to Andrew McKenna) before it was sold. Once it was completed, it didn't spend too much time flying at Chino (a couple months?) before it was sold and moved out east, where it was painted as "Swamp Fox".
