The Flying Bulls appearance is going to be incredible! A few others to add:

Acemaker T-33
B-29 Superfortress "Doc"

This article also mentions the Stockton Field Aviation Museum A-26 and an A-26 gathering as possibilities: https://vintageaviationnews.com/aviatio ... a-26c.html

MAM has also stated its intent to bring its A6M3 Zero if it's ready.

I am hoping Walt Bowe will bring the P-36. From what I understand, he also has a couple vintage restorations that are nearing completion, including a 1929 Cirigliano SC-1 and Pasped Skylark.
