Direct translation is yes or OK.

The Swedish historic flight schedule lists all events which have made enquiries for quotes.etc.

Only those with "JA" are actual bookings.

I think they were provisionally booked in 2014 too, I hope they do make it this year saw the Draken and Viggen and Waddington and have always wanted to see the Tunnan.

They'll have trouble showing off at Farnborough where they will be neither close to the crowd nor low. But the sound will be nice.

Certainly not a rip-roaring start is it! Often the best flying lineup at Farnborough used to be at the weekend, but the weekend displays seem to be becoming increasingly bulked out with inappropriate filler content.

Bearcat and Corsair are undoubtedly beautiful warbirds but I strongly suspect their routines will be massively neutered by Farnborough's display box.

Perhaps the Corsair and Bearcat will be in a Heritage flight with the USAF/N....

It's never disappeared before, I fear they have got wise that us and other major websites that followed our lead were using the data to publish participant information and have pulled the plan as a result in order to stop us stealing their own marketing "thunder"

:sad:
