I think the addition of a Gripen is a realistic target for the show, a display from Team Viper wouldn't go amiss and possibly the Gnat Displat Team. Would also be good to see if a foreign display team could be attracted, rather than two Yak display teams

I think the inclusion of the heavies in the display, whilst a great idea, is a "little" unlikely :grin:

I do not support your point about the kids.

However, the static needs some work and could be vastly improved by removing - like you said - ladders and barriers.

Statics are set up for Joe Public, who are the majority, and not us photographers, who are the minority.

There are improvements which could be made to benefit everyone, I wasn't necessarily catering for photographers.

Well sadly it looks like we can scrub the Harrier from the wish list, unless they get some of the retired airframes for training. There wont be one flying unless there's a massive change in policy.
And whats the chances of getting a Vulcan?

Vulcan will be dependant on maintenance/funding, like it always is during that time of year.

So the tickets are on sale and i believ that so far the Reds and the BBMF are confirmed, lets hope for the Team Viper and that the Delta Lady makes it :) And lets not forget about the King Air with her Kai San approach :drool:
