Schedule posted for TOM, https://yankeeairmuseum.org/airshow/schedule/. No Mig-23. As I'm skipping TOM for the first time since 2010 for the foreseeable future due to the format changes, the schedule eases that sadness. Seeing that I already have or will see everything flying at TOM elsewhere this year for a lot less of a ha$$le.

I had a free 1/2 ticket last year, but decided not to attend because of the weather forecasted for that weekend along with being a 6 hour round trip drive and the high gas cost. It just wasn't worth the time and money. This year is the first time that I didn't buy a ticket, because of the current format arrangement and high cost. TOM is not worth $100 for a half day, nor even for the full day. They have out priced themselves. If/when they go back to pre-drive-in format, I'll consider returning. I've been attending since 2009!
