That's the plan except the Yak

The flying varies so much from act to act though.
Bbmf Hurricane display was excellent as good as you see from them this season
Sally B "EPIC" at Old Warden
Duxford Spits were fantastic
Peter Teichman high and distant (love the new colour scheme though Peter) as I though was the YAK3
Not the Old Old Warden but as with fly navy so much of an improvement on the season opener.
Be interesting to see what the at legends is like next week. I pray it's an improvement on Duxfords season opener.
PS If it's not what about moving legends to OW

BBMF was about what I expected - nothing really tailored for the venue, so the usual average and not that exciting a display.

As for the BBMF, well, they have a different remit (and for most of their pilots, experience levels of display flying) to civilian owned display aircraft and their displays are "boring*" for a reason.
Lovely to see the B-17 back at OW. The Spits were excellent IMHO (in their various combinations), the Buchon's nose stood out very well in its energetic display by Steve Jones.
Overall a good little show. This one seemed much better without the number of formations that appeared in June.

You will probably find here are limitations placed on the BBMF fleet as they are still deemed to be military a/c and flown by military pilots.
Overall a good show. My only gripe was the couple of chaps who kept banging on about lighting conditions or the clouds were in the wrong place. You want to be glad it wasn't cloudy or raining; get a life. Oh, and one was complaining when the Spit Mk V was delayed, "I'm going to ask for my money back" and then complained at the end of the display when the aforementioned Mk V, which did arrive and land, didn't do a departing fly through.
