The marine week site just says 'display'

 

But if they do have a flying demonstration, it would be at Burke Lakefront Airport:

Here's a cool little map... You need to be a member to view our links.

Apparently the one at Voinovich will be static and there will be others flying for the demo according to someone I emailed. Also says there will be a harrier and F-18's, those at BKL or based somewhere else? Hope everything will be visible from the spectator area and not spread out like the map portrays.

I've been seeing and hearing the Ospreys fly from time to time from my neighborhood.  I've also seen the Sea Stallions overhead quite a bit.  Today, there was a C-130 that looked like it was giving a fueling demonstration with one of the helicopters (Stallion, I think).  I can't believe I haven't actually got down there yet to see this...I have to go to a wedding today, so that only leaves tomorrow.  Fingers crossed!

A chance to see Air Force One land or take off,

and a fire truck rally in Parma.
