Thanks for the updates! I don't think I've ever seen a Bronco fly.

How realistic is it that the P-26 and AT-12 will fly in the show? Any word on participation from CAF SoCal, Allied Fighters, Palm Springs, Warhawk Air Museum or some of the other regulars? Just curious. Really looking forward to heading out there in a couple months!

The P-26 and AT-12 will fly.

CAF SoCal will be sending stuff, I'm not sure what exactly. Probably one or both of the Cats, the PBJ, and hopefully Spitfire.

Allied Fighters will almost guaranteed have their planes there (at least one).

PSAM should be sending Bunny and Polly.

Warhawk as usual should send Bee and maybe one of the P-40's if POF requested it. Since Yanks will have theirs at the show and POF's own, I don't know if they would request a third if it's not part of the theme.

Sounds good!

I'd be game for a WIX meetup. I plan to be there when the gates open both days.

Dottie is at Chino now! Pretty cool to have 3 Bolts in one place this often since Dottie was finished and Friedkin seems to like keeping Snafu at POF.

Curious to see what heads to Chino after HF conference. REALLY hoping Frenesi will finally have her long awaited Chino debut this year.

Obviously bummed for all this to happen, especially since this trip was something I'd had in mind for a couple years. Hopefully it works out that I can attend sometime in the near future.

One thing that is nice is that in lieu of a refund for pre-purchased tickets, you can choose to have that amount donated to the museum.

Stay safe everyone.

They are thinking about a September event with many of the same aircraft flying, but I don't think they are calling it an airshow. Sounds like it will be more than just the monthly single aircraft flying event though.
