leuchars airshow query

[eddywinch82]

Hi there,

Just wondering whats the weather like at leuchars today for the airshow has vulcan XH558 made it ?

Regards

Judging by the XH558 twitter feed, yep.

Did the LC 130 make it

Did the LC 130 make it

Vulcan did a LOW display, likewise PdeFrance.

As for LC-130, that'll be a NO

BBMF stuck elsewhere. Breitling wingwalkers stuck in Jersey. Falcons stuck elsewhere [cloud too low anyway]

[scotthldr]

Why am I not surprised

The Vulcan did bloody well just to make it at all, by far the most threatening conditions I have seen her display in since her return to flight. The skeptic in me was saying 'no way' when I saw the low overcast and the morning drizzle, but no, the old girl was there at 1pm on the dot, and a most welcome sight she was as well. Even a wee touch of vapour streaming off the wings at one point!

I will sling some cash in TVOC's direction when I get paid next week, by way of a thank you.

Think the Airshow Office did that for you already and then some!

Aye aye, I know, but it gives me a sense of enormous well-being...

Vulcan was my highlight of the Flying Display. Excellent, shame I had to leave before the Red Arrows displayed although I was at the station when they actually arrived.

When the commentator started talking about special acts that wouldn't be able to make it because of the weather I did fear the worse but when the music started up and she could be seen in the distance off to the left I couldn't stop smiling lol

I did have a thought but because she was due to turn up at almost the same time as the Red Arrows that they might do a formation fly past but that was just wish full thinking.

I was looking off to my left when just as Andy announced Vulcan arriving,it was Plane,Camera,Action!! Just pleased it made it up in that shocking weather.

Unfortunately I couldn't stay for the juicy bits like the Red Arrows and the Fast Jets like Hawk, Typhoons and Tornado GR.4s. Leads me conveniently to the real question, Did the Ellamy Flypast of Tornado GR.4 and Typhoon actually happen and if it did was it one of the T. GR.4s from the Role Demo which flew with a Leuchars based Typhoon?

Hi Unknown. the Op Elamy flypast did take place and it was one of the Role Demo, s Tornado,s that displayed. The Role Demo Tornados never landed and went back to Lossiemouth after their display.

Hope this helps
