2011 Participation

[bigsav]

SF, Any news on the poles potential participation - it would appear RIAT Team is also awaiting any details.......

[sismore]

Well im alittle annoyed to see that the French pull there Mirage out of the Waddington show but still manage to send on to Air Power!

If only Waddo and Air Power we on different days to each other we could of been seeing a MIG-29, Griphen and F-18 and maybe the Austrian Typhoon flying just some of the jets AirPower have..

But oh well SF and the team have done what they could

[st24]

it would appear RIAT Team is also awaiting any details.......

Where did you pick up on that?!

People on the RIAT section are saying things like

The poles have been regular supporters of RIAT, but nothing listed for them this year.... yet ! we can but hope I suppose.

Think its just speculation like for waddo really

To be fair the EC 01.012 jet also pulled out of RIAT. Air Power website doesn't or didn't mention which squadron the Mirage will be unless its changed since last time i looked.... Air Power like RIAT still have Mirage 2000 still on static just probably not from EC 01.012. A shame one of the other squadrons could be sent to Waddington though.

We look at where the RAF send their aircraft and try and work that into our discussions. Poland is one of the nations we are still waiting for a decision from.

Again, whats that got to do with RIAT?

Still seems odd that a specially painted Tiger schemed jet (presumably thats the one SF & RIAT were obviously after) is going to war.... As said, I'll be very interested to see what turns up in Austria and Belgium...

ST24 wrote Again, whats that got to do with RIAT?

I am merely making an observation that both Waddington and RIAT have not been informed of any potential participation from Poland. Should RIAT have been advised then I would assume (rightly or wrongfully) that their schedule was complete and Waddington may have missed out......as of now neither Airshow has indicated yes or no therefore there is still a glimmer of hope I suppose

Hope that clarifies.......

[st24]

Hope that clarifies.......

No, but your're keen as mustard so I'll let you off...

[bigsav]

No, but your're keen as mustard so I'll let you off...

Why thank you

[bigsav]

Just listened to new podcast, no new revelations - nice discussion re Lancaster and Sentry

No French mirage 2000 and Danish F16 at the Belgian Airshow. Cancelled due to operations in Lybia. So I thing Austria and the UK wouldn't see them either

[chrisward123]

Not sure how long the F-16 from the Belgian Air Force which is in TigerMeet Colours has been done for as Static?

Christian

[jon93]

That has been an update as the erj has been cancelled today 20th June and replaced by the F-16 tiger meet, quite a nice addition. Only seen two or three tiger meets.

[pako-2008]

QinetiQ Alphajet has also cancelled today.

[jon93]

How long as the gazelle been down for?

[pako-2008]

Gazelle has been on there before today, not sure how long exactly.

It also appears that a Tucano and 6sq Typhoon has been added to static today aswel.

[Chef_uk]

awesome to see the team still working hard this soon to the event. well done peeps.

[jon93]

5 typhoons in the static hopefully all lined up next to each other, is the 9 squadron tornado new, quite lost trying to pick out new things now.

[pako-2008]

The 9sq Tornado had previously been listed.

Todays update from what I can make out is:

Royal Air force
◦ Tucano T1 (S)- RAF Linton on Ouse
◦ Typhoon F2 (S)- 6 Sqn, RAF Leuchars

Belgian Air Component
◦ F-16 Falcon (S) - Tigermeet Colours

Cancellations
◦ ERJ135 (S) - Belgian Air Component
◦ Alpha Jet (S) - QinetiQ - MOD Boscombe Down

[st24]

Dutch KDC-10 is fairly major addition....

[chrisward123]

Dutch KDC-10 is fairly major addition....

This was added a few weeks ago, but still a great addition.

Really?! I'll shut up then..

[chrisward123]

On the Flying List the Apache is put down as (f) (TBC).
Does this mean it has still to be fully confirmed or does this state the Squadron is yet to be confirmed?

Silent Flight, please book the Sea Vixen!!!

thanks,

I think there is only one squadron, so I'd imagine its the display still to be confirmed.
