Aircraft List Updated -

https://yankeeairmuseum.org/airshow/aircraft-list/

The most notable would be losing 'Yellow Rose'. Some teething problems with the new engines and understandable hesitancy about the long flight to and from MI. Still a few more being 25's being discussed.

2.5 weeks to go!

Do you know of any other birds that are leaning toward the yes list?

Kevin also said they are expecting 16-18 B-25s. 16 have been officially announced with Yellow Rose taken off the list.

16-18 is about right. If Panchito doesn't have a new engine knock it down to 15. There are a half dozen still being discussed and say 50% of those come. Then account for the possibility of 1 or 2 dropping on the way there or right before due to mechanicals...

Anyone know how many 25's were at the last B-25 gathering, must have been 8 years ago or so.

The 2012 modern day record is 20 on the ground at Urbana and supposedly from Urbana to Dayton, while the Dayton flyover had 19 as one “dropped”. A tie with 20 was the ultimate goal, but the unfortunate drops might hurt those odds. Impressive nonetheless with how much maintenance costs have gone up in the past decade too, and TOM will be beating the all time airshow specific gathering record they set themselves in 2007.

And the US land border is staying closed so I ( and many other Canadians) won’t be able to attend this year’s show. Huge bummer.

ToM 2022 here I come!!

I was going to attend until I saw the price. $185 per car load. They have to be out of their minds. I was planning on going by myself. I understand the need for the drive-in strategy however their pricing should still be a per person basis.

They're likely going to sell out of tickets anyway. Blues, Tbirds, Growlers, F-35, A-10, 16-18 B-25's, A400M... You're not paying for an alright show, this is legendary.
