I'm hoping for the Strike Eagle!
Something tells me- either one will be very impressive. Any word if there will be any A-10s there this year?
KEn
Actually, I really enjoyed the B-1 a few years back. If I remember correctly, we originally had an F-117 or B-2 that year and it got canceled last minute. Anyone else remember that?
Won't be the F-22...
Who said that?Quote:

I would put money on "the pilot of the F-22 told me!" lolol
Seriously! :borat:
Fred, it wouldnt suprise me one bit. It would be complete fact too. Trust me, I know Steve very well.
No F-22??? Rats!
Can't say who told me, since I believe the schedule isn't official (there are some dates that show "either xxx or xxx" for the location).
I do believe that Jones Beach will only get one ACC demo and a 50/50 chance of a Heritage Flight. Keep in mind ACC was subject to a massive budget cut and judging from the March schedule, some show sites who usually get two ACC demos at their shows only got one... and half of those shows got Heritage Flights! ACC, between 2004 and 2009, used to pay for the Heritage Flight pilot's appearance but is not doing that for 2010 - it's up to the show site to pay the HF pilot.
A few of the shows I usually attend (Andrews, Atlantic City, Oceana) usually are fair game for at least two ACC demos, and this year they may only get one. We'll see...
Im new so Im sorry for asking this but what is the difference between the ACC Demo and a heritage flight?
ken
The ACC Demo is a single ship flight demonstration conducted by one of several aircraft - F-15, F-16, F-22, A-10. Heritage Flight is a formation of one or more current aircraft joined by one or more warbirds making a series of flybys.

Man that really bites. This air show is a huge thing for us each year.
The question is..... Will "Viper East" make an appearnce this year at Sheltair.... Hahahahahaahah :lol:
I really hope we get them or the strike Eagle, while the A-10 is awesome we had them last year and it would be nice to have some variety. I just hope we don't have to settle for a fly by.Quote:
