Was that this one?
I believe it was the 100th anniversary jet but I don't recall it displaying in the UK though, other than on static at North Weald?
Correction: It did do a flypast with the Noggie Vampires at Duxford as well.
. Agreed. I saw it fly in the Miami Beach Airshow and it was crazy! it did 3 flypast and after the last one a barrel rollHeyfordDave111 wrote:Now, sorry but I’ve got to throw this one in, if only for total rarity value on these shores in recent years......
And I know some will say nope, want a su27 instead, but........
Rockwell B-1B display. From take off to top side wing swept fast past along the display line into a double or single 1g roll pulling round, wings forward, gear down into the pattern for landing. Job done.
7 or 8 mins of the best time you will ever have at an air show short of tent time with a page 3 girl at Totterdown![]()
Afterburners, car alarms going off aplenty, moisture pulled from the air and a big bomber doing a 500knot flyby.
I remember asking the display pilot who flew a week before at Mildenhall show (subsequently on TDY) about his vulcanesque wing over into downwind, and he explained that on entering the end of the runway he lights the burners and due to weight accellerates at such a speed that its 500knots at mid point, drop the burners and it’s still accelerating with kinetic speed, into single or double roll pulling a wing over to bunt the 600knots off for the downwind.
Sorry, but given a 27 or a B-1B display this year,i’d rather be ‘bad to the Bone’
For any of you who have never seen the display, once seen you’ll never forget it.

Apparently coming in formation with German Mig29's to celebrate the 100th RAF anniversary!

Don't be silly - German MIGs don't exist.
