Here's a show link:

I was in a briefing last week and the number of attending airplanes is impressive. The ones I remember include:

Replica Wright biplane to celebrate 100 years of aviation in AL
B-25
B-17
A-26
B-24A
P-40
P-47
Avenger
SBD
Corsair
Zero & Kate replicas
Red Tail P-51 to be parked next to Red Tail F-16
Skyraider
Proposed Heritage Flight: C-17, C-130, C-47, C-7
T-33
T-2
F-4
MiG-17
O-2
All the current USAF stuff
Thunderbirds/Golden Knights
Aeroshell T-6 Team
Red Bull helicopter and other acro acts ...

This should be quite a show - the lineup is not 100% firm yet so there may some additions/subtractions. My apologies if I overlooked anyone. Apparently there will be shuttle buses operating from remote parking in addition to some on-base parking to handle the anticipated crowds.

Rumor has it some C-130s will be doing an airdrop and some formation stuff as well.

Unless something changes (hopefully it won't) I will be in the C-17.

Where's the F-4 coming from ? I see they don't have a Fighter Heritage listed. The 82nd doesn't usually send out solos that aren't flying Heritage.
