Looks like the F-22 has been added to the airshow schedule for Monday only.  When I pulled up the ACC demo page, it shows as only being a heritage flight fly-by with a P-51.  The Raptor's demo page shows it performing a full display in Fort Wayne on Sept 1-2, so probably a fly thru on Monday as it heads back to Langley AFB.

PS-  Fort Wayne, really???  My how CLE doesn't get all the goodies like the old days.

I couldn't agree with you more...it's a shadow of its former self.

The AF changed the support requirements for the F-22 in recent years.  It used to be a 10000ft runway with an arresting gear, now it is a 7000ft runway with gear within 80nm of the show.  I thought for sure that with these changes the Raptor would make a weekend of it in CLE this year.  Won't be here next year if we get the Tbirds so we'll see about 2014 I guess.  Glad to see it is doing the HF though - good to see it here no matter the type of flight.

I guess it's either the Blues/T-Birds or the F-22 demo nowadays and they think Cleveland wants one of the teams more than a single plane demo, that's my guess.

The static list finally came out today...
