I contacted the 52nd FW / PA and they told me that an A-10 Thunderbolt will also be flying.
The F-15 from Lakenheath is not yet confirmed according to the Public affairs.

p.s. the gates won't open till 11:30 am...gates will close at 20:00 pm hours.

Greetings Robert

Last SP open house I attended was about 3 years ago I think. This was not too spectacular. As far as I can remember there was a local flight of a couple A-10s and F-16s, but not very good.

Access was through the gate near the new(ish) AMC platform. The main gate was not in use for the airshow visitors. And that's where all the preserved aircraft were obviously.

Do you know if all the aircraft that are on the list there will be real? Or serve only to attract a bit of people?

@ zerofive; Aircraft mentioned on the list have all been invited. But real world events might lead to some not showing up.

This reply might help you a little more than the other...

If you think the Open House 3 years ago was not spectacular you should stay at home, I had a great time and I am going again for sure!!!
Just my thought....

I believe last year brought some AMC movements, a few locals ( some are on tdy at this time ) and arrivals for the show.
Planning to go there myself 2 days, of hunting...

And from what i've heard from Spangdahlem Ab pr-officer, only Mig-21 Romania and F-15 USAFE are tentative.
Bulgarian Mig-29 still a "go"....

Grtz, Rene
