    Just a heads up.. you have Canadian “snowbirds” jet demonstration team pictured for the air show (not scheduled this year), as well as mentioning that the Air Force “Thunderbirds” will be there, but won’t be there this year (you’re probably thinking of the Navy “Blue Angels”). Also there are no stealth fighters since the “Nighthawk” has been retired from service and the F-22 Raptor (our nations only stealth fighter) will not be there this year either. Feel free to send me any questions relating to US military aircraft :)
