Hello everybody

Any ideas of when the program will be published ? In 2007 the publish date was very close to real show (at least seen from an European perspective)

[JClark]

Great to see that the USN will be there for the Legacy Flight.

Fencecheck dinner again this year?

[BigRedDogATL]

Are arrangements being made for a FenceCheck photopit for this show?

[Liza]

Sorry, no. Only potential ones remaining for 2008 (that I know of) will be David Schultz shows.

[Midnight Storm]

Will the Dutch Demo Team be bringing their own F-16s to the show or jumping into a USAF F-16 at Nellis?

It would be very exciting to see their Black and Silver Viper. One of the best demos and paint scheme IMO. 

[M.M.]

They'd almost certainly use regular jet.  The KLu has often had F-16s in the Southwest for training (Red Flag and the like) in the fall.

They may use one of the jets from the Springfield, OH, RTU.  A Dutch F-16 was displayed at last year's Dayton Airshow.  I had a great time last year and hope for another one this year.

Very unlikely indeed that the demo F-16 will make it all the way from Volkel NL, one of the 14   306sqn dutch deployment based at Springfield Air National Guard Base Ohio will be used... as usual... recall the 2006 Edwards open house... when they even used a ANG F16A.

Sorry....

[themongrel]

I have on good rumor that Kay Eckhart may be there with a 3 ship  of T-33s.

[RomeoCharlie]

Anybody know when they will start accepting media applications? I can't find anything on the site about it.

What affect will that have on those of us with big camera bags?

[Victor Archer]

Kinda sad to not have a media day, but I'm OK with that, BUT to make the Media lug all our gear through the Speedway??? NOT GOOD
