Great work on securing the Dutch F-16 - this year's show is going to be amazing!

Holy smoke! Superb pull - congratulations all round!

[Abingdonman]

Blimey,next to the Typhoon,the very aircraft I would miss my wedding anniversary for!

[EMarsh]

Good arrows!

[Tangoringo]

Really impressive list there oldtower. Glad to see all your hard work paying off and hopefully more money in the coffers for the air ambulance.
Fingers crossed for good wx on the day.

[Russ]

Superb. Would be amazing if the F-16 operated out of Abingdon as well, but regardless a brilliant coup. Well done Neil and the team.

[DanO1978]

Absolutely splendid line-up. Just shows what can be done with an ambitious team, and a bit of thought.

[centaurus18]

Jet Provost X3

Is that really X3 or meant to be T3?
If X3, which three?

[Rick]

Wow fantastic news on the Orange F16
Great work by Neil and co.

[DanO1978]

Jet Provost X3

Is that really X3 or meant to be T3?
If X3, which three?

[rdchawk]

Jet Provost X3

Possibly the 3 JP's from Heritage aviation on static.

Cheers

[Oldtower]

is x3 JPs - one is our supporter Neil McCarthy, one i believe is the T5 from Yeovilton, and poss another two from oop north.. so could be x4 in the end!

Thanks all of you for congratulating the re the F16, alot of hard work has gone into securing things and with a limited budget too. I too am praying for good weather.

[grant_w]

"coup" definitely appears to be the appropriate word, well done on booking the F-16
Now please book some decent weather

[PeterR]

Looking forward to see the faces of the my cadets [squadron trip to the show] as the F-16 takes-off!

[Abingdonman]

If it operates from Abingdon,and the weather is hopefully kind,how great would it be if the F16 gave us a take off like the Canadian F18 in 1990....hey,what a take off!

[Vulcanhopefull]

What a great peice of news that is - very well done to everyone at Abbingdon securing a great addition to the line up. Hope we have some nice weather.
