Now, the team heads overseas for its last two stops on the 2015 schedule. October 20-25, the team will perform in Seoul, Korea at the 2015 Seoul Air Show​. Then, they head to Dubai, UAE for their final performances, which take place November 8-12 at the Dubai Air Show. 

The 2015 Dubai Air Show will mark the end of the ACC F-22 Demo Team's 2015 Air Show season. It'll be the end of Major John Cummings' second season with the team. Since joining the team, Major Cummings has accumulated numerous hours in the F-22 Raptor, almost all of them being in front of large air show crowds. This season, John "Taboo" Cummings was promoted from Captain to Major, less than seven years after being promoted to Captain. As they go into their final two shows of the year, help us congratulate Major Cummings and the team on a successful 2015 air show season.
