F-35B air show deployment vs....
2 Harriers to the post-Desert Storm Paris air show in 1991 (lead and a wingman) – a KC-10 tanker pathfinder/tanker with an extra pilot, 10 maintainers and gear (some tires, tools, and intake/canopy covers).
2 super Hornets to RIAT and Farnborough (daily airshows and VIP flights) – a tanker/pathfinder with a standard pallet of gear (tires, tools, intake/canopy covers, captive carry weapons for the show – about 3K lbs of stuff) and 8 maintainers.
