What you will see is no SAAF. Don't think 22 SQN can put up any A109 or LYNX as they aren't flying, maybe the AS32 are flying.

Maybe a DC3T flyby if you're lucky. sad times...

Maybe a Silver 'Pelican' solo...

Jeandré Van Der Schaar, who is still in high school, will fly a large radio-controlled Extra 300 in formation with his dad Ivan Van Der Schaar who will (hopefully) be flying his vintage Boeing Stearman for a synchronized display.

I would also like to know if there will be a window for arrivals, or at least when does the program start and finish?
