Is this airshow happening this year? The website still says tentative 

[Midnight Storm]

I hope so. I just moved into the area and I want at least 4 shows to go to next year.

Im going to Abbotsford Airshow and Edwards Flight test nation in 2010, I would love to add Mcchord to the list

The information was given to me by one of the gentleman working on putting it together. So far, it's a go.

I'll let you see my Raptor in the parking lot... but it's a Ford.

No T birds or Blues...or Snowbirds for Mcchord 2010 

[Iceman]

Strange that a show that drew such a huge crowd last year didn't snag one of these teams 
Thought McChord would get the Thunderbirds. Oh well, I'm still goin' for sure!

Ohai, your on the Abby thread from 2009 arent you?

[dhfrat]

As far as jet teams go... we are a victim of our own success.  The Thunderbirds go where community support needs them more, I guess Duluth MN needs them more then McChord. Snowbirds are on vacation and the Blues will not come because a week or two later they are in Seattle.

We may get to see a Raptor fly just because we have no T-birds.  We'll see.  I passed along our strong wishes to ACC.

We talked to a lot of folks at ICAS, but because of the Air Force rules concerning contracts etc, we could not sign or promise anything to anyone. That being said, the following are the performers we have expressed an interest in bringing to McChord for 2010:

Patriots Jet Team
Mig Fury Fighters
Jacquie B
CAF P-51 Red Tail
Tim Weber
John Klatt (ANG)
USO Jet Car
Kent Pietsch (jelly belly)
T-33 Ace Maker

In addition we can expect the following participation:
C-17 Demo
C-17 3 ship airdrop demo
ACC demo
Heritage Flight
Navy Demo
Navy Legacy
Airfield assault
Warbird Review
