Got the e-invitation Wedneday afternoon and didn't have my wallet on me at the time to RSVP, which required a credit card to pay for the lunch.

Went to do that today and found that yesterday was the last day for RSVPs.   >:(

Guess I should have read all the way to the bottom of that e-vite.

Here is the schedule from the invitation:

0645 - Fly-In Arrivals Begin
0700 - AFA Pancake Breakfast
0930 - Edwards Mission "Toward the Unexplored"
1000 - See What it Takes, Safety Demonstration from Test Parachute Team
1015 - Welcome from the Commander
1030 - Safety Briefing, AFFTC Flight Safety Office
1100 - Women in Aviation, Celebrating 99 Years of Safe Flying by Females
1130 - Pancho Barnes Luncheon
1300 - General Weather and Departure Briefing
1330 - Take a Tour of the War Birds
1400 - Enjoy the Day, Watch Them Fly Away

Winning N numbers for the fly-in.

Possibilty of static display and some military planes flying, but sounds like a big "if".

"If available, we will have military aircraft on display, and there is a possibility of an military aerial demonstration."

No, I would not expect any military jets to fly, especally if they are opening the airspace to select civis.

But you never know, maybe a test mission needs to go out.

A little short of the usual Open House, but drive in registration must be done before the end of the month.
