I am at Miramar for the summer, and the unconfirmed rumors are that there
is a *slight* possibility of a Stealth aircraft (B-2 or F-117A, no one
has said which--I STRONGLY doubt that there would be a B-2 here), and a
much stronger possibility of a MiG-29.

Of course, the Blue Angels will perform, and there will be many, many
modern and historical military aircraft.

The highlight of the show will be, as always, the presence of at least one
S-3A Viking from NAS North Island :-).
