ViperWest As you point out the time is now running agaisnt us and we are rapidly running short of display time. We are fairly confident that we now know the full line up, but are just awaiting final confirmations.

[Macc]

From France and the countries shown......any surprises up your sleeve yet? =)

[Sarang]

Great news on securing the RNLAF F-16 Solo Display!!!

Would be interesting if the Croatian Wings of Storm or the Patrulla Aguila could make it over for the show - neither have released their calenders for 2012 and anything is possible with Waddo this year!

Keep up the great work!

Yes and oh please no!

Line up is looking great so far

and one for silentflight any chance of the foreign flyers like the swiss F18s and dutch F16s being parked where the thunderbirds were last year on the crowdside?

Good questions- however i will not be surprsied to see the Freece parked there.......=)

[Kieran]

Krila Oluje are a superb team! Much better than any turboprop team I've seen and some jet teams too! Interesting that Waddo are in 'Ongoing' arrangements with the Croats; hope that does lead to the team's UK debut appearance or even better a Croatian AN-32!

[JJC]

Nice Didn't think we were going to get an F-16 this year, with the apparent Belgian defection to France

[chrisward123]

Very pleased that we have both a F-16 + F-18 this year!
Can't wait

At the minute the area has been redisignated and so we are trying to establish what we can do with it. The T-Birds caused some issues with the weight of the F16's on the tarmac last year, so we will have to see.

[mingo]

Ok no worries silentflight thanks for taking the time to reply. keep up the good work

[scotthldr]

Why would a RAF show commemorate an aircraft type it doesn't fly?

Maybe something for RIAT but not for Waddington.

can you please make sure the vulcan is parked air side for the whole show so we don't have the performance last year when everybody had to move to let it out onto the runway and then move to let it back off the runway very bad planning

I think the Vulcan people may have requested that space Craig

Static looks a bit thin where's all the JP's and the like..........

They come after all the Military stuff i think mate

[GUNMAN]

I am afraid that static line up has solved my dilemma as whether to attend or not, with almost twice as many aircraft in the flying display I won`t be sitting in the queue`s to get in this year.

[DeanW]

It's only just turned April, plenty of time for furhter additions yet. And surely quality is better than quantity anyway!

Some rubbish in the static as well, Algerian Herc, Qatari Herc and C-17, Czech C-295, Dutch KDC-10, Aussie Wedgetail, utter pants

[JJC]

And the Norwegian DA20 ECM, not entirely sure where you're coming from, there's already plenty of rarities in there and we have another 3 months yet.

Hi Chris, I was referring to the second batch of six which are due for delivery in 2013, would be great to see some Thai Gripens over here but I can't see the Thai's sending two round the world for a show.

[Chris G]

I would imagine Waddington will be full to bursting this year, not just with people either

Unless there are a couple capable of making the trip over from Sweden, after all there is one down for static at the SAAB 75th show in Malmen.

Some people are just never happy "I want this", "get this one"...

Thanks to Silentflight and the Waddo team for the effort they put in each year to create something that has vastly disappeared quantity wise over the last 20 years or so....an event called an Airshow!

Keep up the good work!
