A few additions:
The F-22 rehearsal on Saturday was done by 04-4062HH;
the M2000 rehearsal was 735. Both photo-proof.

On Sunday afternoon a visiting UAEAF UH-60M escaped identification in the 35+ degrees (in the shade) heat haze.

Likely in connection with the show, Kazakhstan Tu-154M UP-T5401 was seen arriving on Saturday and leaving on Monday about noon.
Also seen on Monday, Nov 9, were AW139s 2015 and 2011, which took off early afternoon. Finally, on Monday, Wings ATR72-600 PK-WHP was in the static.

03-4055/HH F22A 199FS/HI ANG

National B747 with 952 on nwd arrived in static, presume this is N952CA. Replaced the ETD A380

Wednesday's flying display was cancelled due to high winds

[Starfighter_F-104G]

Anyone for the serial of the USAF C-17 which was on the freight platforms monday morning around 03:15 and left around 04:00?
