Luke has added a bit more information to their Airshow site including the typical array of static displays (no F-35 listed though) plus this interesting tidbit, not sure what exactly to make of it....

"AV-8 Harrier
F-16 & U.S. Marine Corps ground vehicle close air support
      demonstration"

The link in the first message no longer works.

The current one is:

Just since yesterday, the name of the event became "Storm on the Horizon." Yesterday it just said "Open House and Air Show."

Per Luke's Facebook page they have confirmed for the show a "German fighter jet" but I guess this could mean anything from a replica Me-262 to a Tornado (which has participated before) and the F-22, full demo I would asmume
