The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds will headline next year's Dayton Air Show.

Officials with the show said Tuesday that the air demonstration team will appear June 22 and June 23 at the Dayton International Airport. The announcement was made at the International Council of Air Shows' annual convention in Las Vegas.

Others named to the Dayton show's lineup include the Birmingham, Ala.-based AeroShell Aerobatic Team and aerobatic pilots Skip Stewart and Melissa Pemberton. The show also will feature a jet-powered school bus and the flying B-29 Superfortress known as "FIFI."

Delta Air Lines plans to cut flight service from Dayton to New York beginning in July.

The move upsets Dayton-area business and government officials, who claim that it will negatively impact business in the region.
