KC-135R/T Stratotanker (Metrea)

@OfficialJoelF The show has been known to keep performer info under the radar ever since they started. They normally announce the schedule/performers a week or two before the show.

The F-22 Demo Team has been rumored to add Miami Beach to their schedule so this appears to confirm it.

@HHunternight F-35s just landed at Homestead. Not 100% sure on what variant but it looked like the B model.

@lsbissell These are not Blackhawks, they’re Chinooks and they are not based in the Miami area. They are part of the 160th SOAR.

[Vice Aviator @ViceAviator]

@Tainouno @HustleBitch_ Yeah, and look up 160th SOAR and its history. These are not your average Chinooks in your average unit.

[Vice Aviator @ViceAviator]

@Ellie528391051 @HustleBitch_ Yep!

[Vice Aviator @ViceAviator]

@hariswaheed @HustleBitch_ There is Blackhawks with them. A lot of them too, just not seen.

[Vice Aviator @ViceAviator]

@Mark84837273 @HustleBitch_ Negative. They’re not at Homestead for training.

[Vice Aviator @ViceAviator]

@HustleBitch_ It’s the Army’s 160th SOAR (Special Operations Aviation Regiment) aka the Night Stalkers.

They are the same unit that transported SEAL Team 6 during Bin Laden’s raid.

The best of the best pilots.

@HHunternight @thenewarea51 @LatAmMilMVMTs @MeNMyRC1 ‘LUCKY’ is the Florida Air National Guard (FANG) callsign. They fly F-15s.

[Vice Aviator @ViceAviator]
