Altogether there are right around 75 planes scheduled to be on the ramp for Thunder. 48 are warbirds (13 Corsairs, 6 Mustangs, 4 Mitchells, 2 Avengers, Invader, and Yankee's birds make up the heavy iron), a little over 20 are military static, and then the Viper demo team mixed with a few other civilian/performer birds to cover the rest.
Hoping for a updated aircraft list this Wednesday

Isn't it 12 Corsairs now? Would love to see some more 4 engine power - they can keep the modern birds.

It was 13 then 12 then 13 again when they added John French's Corsair. Sadly could be 14 right now and MAYBE could've been 15 or 16 ... I'm still fingers crossed for 15 (still some time left to get 2 more on the list)...
I wouldn't get your hopes up on more 4 engine power, I'm hoping for Doc, but with the amount of time/effort/funding to get 13+ Corsairs there, the priority is still set on them.
