I think the addition of a Gripen is a realistic target for the show, a display from Team Viper wouldn't go amiss and possibly the Gnat Displat Team. Would also be good to see if a foreign display team could be attracted, rather than two Yak display teams

I think the inclusion of the heavies in the display, whilst a great idea, is a "little" unlikely

Well Wes it is a wish list, it would be nice to see them and if nobody asks for them then they dont want them!

I'd be happy If they lined up all their Jags outside! had that lovely painted Jaguar in hanger with ladders/barriers all round it and kids climbing inside it!!!

I do not support your point about the kids.

However, the static needs some work and could be vastly improved by removing - like you said - ladders and barriers.

Statics are set up for Joe Public, who are the majority, and not us photographers, who are the minority.

There are improvements which could be made to benefit everyone, I wasn't necessarily catering for photographers.

havn't got problem with kids but they could have used an umarked Jaguar

Well sadly it looks like we can scrub the Harrier from the wish list, unless they get some of the retired airframes for training. There wont be one flying unless there's a massive change in policy.
And whats the chances of getting a Vulcan?

Vulcan will be dependant on maintenance/funding, like it always is during that time of year.

[RICHARD HARGREAVES]

Team Viper would be nice .

[Sea King]

Team Viper would be nice .

Agreed.

[A380FWWOW]

So the tickets are on sale and i believ that so far the Reds and the BBMF are confirmed, lets hope for the Team Viper and that the Delta Lady makes it And lets not forget about the King Air with her Kai San approach

[Sea King]

Black Hawk for static would be nice
