Hey guys great news, it looks like I shall make it to this one! Just wondering though, do the blues base at the show site or do they do it as a remote show?

They remote out of Quad-City International in Moline/Coal Valley, IL.  If they get a Viper demo it will stage from there as well.  If a Navy TAC demo is scheduled, they will use Davenport.

Alright thanks, too bad they can't stage at Davenport but I guess you can't get everything. Just hoping my plans to attend hold and praying for good weather!

They tried it once in 1996, but the runway is too narrow to get a finger 4 takeoff and parking the jets was a hassle as they had to literally taxi through the crowd line to get to the active runway from where they were parked.  Not to mention its only a 5500 ft runway.

Here is a quick pic from today that the Blues maintenance crew liked.  The #4 jet had to be moved partially into a hanger to be worked on...
