Bournemouth Air Festival 2016

[Harvo266]

Thought I'd start a thread.
First news of the season:
- Swiss Puma confirmed for display
- Swiss F-18 confirmed for display

Great start eh!

[Disaster Area]

Good news, what's your source??

[Harvo266]

Straight from the horses mouth. It is on the Swiss display team site, but is all in Swiss but it is there.

Great news for Bournemouth. It has grown into a great event, so very pleased to see it is being recognised internationally!

Probably to do with the cock-up of fuel requirements for the Turkish F-16 last year, that meant it didn't come.

Only just seen this, thats a pretty big coup for Bournemouth...

[Harvo266]

King Air display confirmed for all 4 days

[cherries]

RAF typhoon display on Friday,Sat and Sunday.

[Harvo266]

The schedule the pilot posted only says one day

[GazBOH]

So the published schedule suggests the typhoon display is only booked for the Friday. Also, that the Friday 19th display is the only display for the team that weekend.

Surely a typo or they've missed a few other displays off that weekend. Though perhaps the gap is the result of a cancellation. Who knows, but hopefully we'll see it in Bmth for the three days

[cherries]

I can confirm the team will be at Bournemouth arriving Thursday afternoon through til Monday morning. They will be based at Bournemouth airport for the weekend. So I would suggest they will display Friday to Sun.

[cherries]

The typhoon team will also be based at Bournemouth for Dunsfold and Goodwood display weekends.

What is your source

[GazBOH]

Thanks for the info Cherries. I'm sure the typhoon team will re-publish the schedule in due course.

[Harvo266]

Typhoon pilot has confirmed it was a typo, doing 3 days

[Harvo266]

RAF Red Arrows confirmed for all 4 days

[GazBOH]

Good News!

Would be nice if BmthAirFest put some effort in with regards to publishing attendees. Seem to be a bit slow out the blocks, unlike other shows who are making weekly announcements.

[Harvo266]

RN Black cats confirmed for all 4 days

[Slappywag]

F-18 Cancelled.

[MRTT]

That's a great shame, why?
