Looks like the Black Eagles are going to fly in formation with the Reds over the weekend! :smile: :clap:

Is there any indication of that actually happening on both Saturday & Sunday? - agreed it will be a great sight, but as I'll only be there on the Sunday, I hope it'll take place on both...

That will be a fantastic sight to see! Pleased I'm going both days.

Weather still very annoying in Lincolnshire....I'm 15 miles south of Waddington and we have cloud cover and a breeze. Expecting showers but no prolonged rain for next two days, although Friday is looking good(ish)

Its the strong winds we have to worry about 40 mph gusts which will affect flying display!!

Hello again,
Please excuse me if this has been asked already, but I couldn't see it anywhere. Will there be flying display times posted atall? I have the app on my iPhone but I can't see anything like that on there, like there was with the Duxford app. I try and plan my day as best I can, my son is autistic and it's so much easier if I can give him an inkling of what we will be doing (or when), It's our first time at Waddington, and even I'm a little nervous if I'm honest... I take it it's not continuous back to back flying, like say, Duxford? I am not looking forward to getting up at 4.30am ;) But I'm so excited!! There seems to be so much to see and do, but I'm a bugger to get away from the crowd line when there is continuous flying going on :) Thanks for your help.

They usually see programmes in the PAVE, so it's worth keep checking the Waddington threads later when people start arriving home from arrivals. Someone might post bits of the flying schedule.

You have to buy the Airshow Programme :smile: Which they have sold on Thursday/ Friday arrivals before. From memory I got mine during arrivals last year

Got my pick up time 6.45am so in theory i will get there between 9-10am but depends on traffic and how long it takes to pick up the other passengers
