ACC doesn't have a dedicated website for the F-15E Demo Team... Yet, it is in the works.

Though the link below has the Mud Hen Demo's schedule on it, it's for ALL teams.

http://www2.acc.af.mil/airdemo/demo_schedule.html

The Lancers (333rd) are the folks that are going to have permanent "Demo Team" status for the next 3 years, though I have seen them out in the Eagles (334th FS) & Rocketeers (336th FS) Airplanes.

The Columbus show, is actually career weekend... I'll be there!

SWEET!!!!! Looks like I'll be watching the Raptor in June here at Hill. Not Worthy

The "E" Demo is flown with the conformals... it WILL be missing the LANTIRN & FLIR & all the rails, so they can push up the G Meter past 8.5.
(Always hearing the CC bitch about the Targeting Pod getting "Over-G'd!")

If the pilot does what he SHOULD after an Over-G, he'd be complaining, too. If you break it, you should be right out there on the line pulling panels and helping with the Over-G inspection (Not to mention buying at least a case for the guys having to fix what you broke!). I've "been there and done that", and it's not fun at all. Definitely gives you a little more appreciation for keeping it under the published G limits!

I keep reminding myself that the DCC owns the jet. He just lets me borrow it every once in a while.

All, I'm stationed here at SJ where the 15E demo team resides... have seen them practice a plenty. Here's some additional info:

They've modeled their uniforms and much of their ground game from the Viper East team out of Shaw.

There are 4 ea assigned jets 1 ea from 333, 334, 335, 336 and all but 1 of them have common tails #'s, 475, 485, 495 and then 199.

The show looks little different that the C-model demo and is flown with CFT's

Their offices are located in the 333rd AMU bldg - - which within the next 2 weeks will become the 336th AMU bldg. They are not assigned to any Sq - they were all PCA'd directly to AMXS Supervision.

(333 and 336 are swapping facilities since the 333 bldg is bigger than the Rockets - but - the Rockets have more airframes and more people)
