Re: Leuchars Airshow 2000
This was an absolute classic, one of the all-time great Leuchars shows. From memory:
- Viggen
- Draken
- F-4F Phantom
- C-17
- Mirage 2000
- German MiG-29 ( )
- Raffin Mike (French AF Jaguar duo)
- Brief glimpse of one of the early Typhoon prototypes
- Airfield attack featuring based Tornado F3s haring around chasing Hawks whilst a VC-10 performed a refuelling demo
- 3 F-16 demos
- Frecce, PdeF, Reds
... all in the flying display, and:
- Viggen, Draken... etc plus
- 2x F-104
- B-52
- B-1B
in the static.
Oh for a time-machine!

Yes indeed - there were fears in the build-up that the event would need to be cancelled. Then the strike broke in the week before the airshow, and on the day itself the weather was glorious. Consequently a huge crowd turned up... as Dougie says, I think this was a record for a Leuchars Airshow.
