I also haven't seen the 301sq Redskin Solo display AH-64D Apache listed yet, Q-17 is redecorated with 100 years militairy aviation titels on her 2011 demo painting and expected to perform some displays this year.
The official schedule is on its way.

The organisation of the Luchtmachtdagen 2013 is in progress. A lot of people are referring to 75 Years RNLAF at Deelen in 1988, but times are changed as well as budgets and aircraft inventories!! Goal of the RNLAF is to present Luchtmachtdagen as usual with a couple of items referring to 100 Years of Military Aviation. That means that we are trying to bring as much as possible (budget permittting) ex Dutch Military Aircraft to Volkel either flying or static. We are planning to show the spectators these aircraft in a flyby and not all individual displays. Otherwise we need to start our flying programm at 05.00 hrs in the morning...... It is a major problem to find airworthy aircraft and aircraft based within a proper distance from Volkel AB. Although we very much would like to have an F-104 in our programm, the closest one is based in Florida and bringing this F-104 to Volkel would consume almost the whole Luchtmachtdagen budget.

Furthermore it is becoming very difficult to find special participants. Even the USAF cancelled almost all solo demo's (even the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds might face budget cuts). Nevertheless we are trying to show the spectators historical and future items during the show.

Happy landings (and messages),

Probably next week we will start filling the website.

As I mentioned no USAF flying assets expected. The USAF cancelled all solo Demo Teams except the Raptor. We do everything we can to get USAF participation anyway.

Maybe you can check the answer you got when you asked the same question a bit more then a month ago? (Just for helping you, it's at the bottom of page 1 of this very same thread)

[aviodromefriend]

Yes...and that answer states there will be an announcement regarding the spottersday end of march. And when i look this morning it was april.

And it also said

not going to responde to any of the questions from now on

So until there is more news about this then

Everything will be fine

you shouldn't expect anything more then what was said back then.
