2012's Show???

[Mixed grill]

Full E-3D display would be a rare treat

[tomcatforever]

Also added by mistake to FB as it's not been cleared just yet is the chance of a FULL display by an E-3 Sentry

An E-3D was up doing a practice display today around 10.30 according to the info given out by Waddington tower. Theres a NOTAM for a couple more slots tomorrow and Wednesday.

[Unknown74]

Any chance of a Sentinal display as well or are we only seeing a Flypast?

[bjturner1981]

Some good additions added last night, i missed the rivet joint flypast last year due to the traffic so I'm really looking forward to it this year!

[snafu]

If it's as high as it was last year, there's little point in it coming.....

[Fastwalker]

Good news about the Andover coming.I thought it was being retired last year?

[BossMann]

E3 display - awesome! Never seen one do a full display, brilliant stuff.

Rivet Joint fly past also great addition!

Great to see waddo get USAF stuff flying given all the difficulties this year, more than any other show too!

[Mooshie1956]

I wonder if the E3 from Waddington that happens to be in Air Livery at Manchester is getting a make over ready for the show ?.

[tomcatforever]

The E-3D is now listed as flying as well as for the flypast on the Waddington website albeit provisional

[Russ]

That would be great. Seems pointless going to all the hassle just for a single flyby.

Topside please!

When was the last time the German air force wasnt represented at Waddington ?

Am I right in thinking the Koreans are not bringing any support Aircraft over with them?

You are, they all seem to have arrived by 747 in to Manchester.

There have been some pictures post on the commercial airline message board on here of the Korean airways 747 being unloaded. The black eagles aircraft have been moved to raf leeming for assembly and testing I believe. Ben

Your right, in fact the first one flew today, there are pics on another forum.

Looks like such an accurate source.

[Unknown74]

Please NO!.............. I've been looking forward to this trip for a couple of months would absolutely hate it to be ruined by horrid Weather.

Guys, we have 15 days until the show. Just because one report says we're going to have a crap summer, doesn't mean that every, single day will be like that, and to be honest....do you honestly take everything you read in a newspaper as being 100% truthful and accurate? Come on.

[bjturner1981]

Only 15 days to go now! I hope there will be a few exciting additions added to the line up over the next few days. I'd love to see a typhoon or two and a few interesting foreign additions added too the static line up (lakenheath eagles, something Canadian or Croatian).

[banksy]

All I'll say on the weather is that a month ago they were predicting temperatures of -6, and that the temperatures would be winter-esque, well that hasn't exactly happened has it?

Look out of the window on the Saturday morning, that will be the only way we'll really know what weather there will be that day!

and they are probably right, only this is not a rare event, in fact we have not had a real summer now since 2006. In aviation weather terms 2008 was truly awful, the fact that the jet stream keeps getting stuck to the south may just indicate that there is something going on with the climate.

I was using this at the beginning of June and it was more a less bang on for where we are now.

June was awful last year but picked up massively during the arrivals week. Its looking very similar on my 10 day forecast
