Re: Departures 2013

One Belgian F-16 got red flared for not confirming landing gear down and being too close to the other one. Then a yellow prop plane did for the same thing. Thought it was the T6. Maybe not. Didnt see any protesters :dunno:

Re: Waddington Airshow 2013 - share your thoughts

I wrote my thoughts in another thread but I'll post them again in here aswell. Thought it was a good show flying display wise. As mentioned, there were some lengthy gaps, especially towards the start of the show. But overall, it was a nice varied display. Sadly I think the static lineup was quite po...

Re: Waddington 2013 - Participation Thread

A good show overall and a nice varied flying display. Thought it lacked static foreign military but thats just a sign of the times I guess. Only criticism is that of getting in this morning. The police were being absolutely pathetic. Everyone had formed a nice orderly queue, fully off the road on th...

Rumours are the BBMF Lancaster may not make it - major hydraulic leak. That's the flypast out, if true.

Re: Arrivals 2013

Was talking to some guy in the PAVE and those turk pilots sound a right pair. Apparently one was too pissed to be allowed anywhere near his plane yesterday afternoon and the other one who did the display breached the crowd safety line on multiple occasions. Who knows what we will get tomorrow.

Re: Arrivals 2013

I highly doubt the police will be ticketing cars without warning. Im pretty sure they will give you a chance to move on first. Plus, giving out a ticket takes atleast 5-10 minutes. Have they really got the capacity or motivation to go along ticketing 100+ cars. Doubt it. However expect a large polic...

My first ever time at Waddo, went there as part of the crew on the Hunter.... We didn't know what to expect, so just polished the aircraft as much as we could over the weekend. Couldn't quite believe it when we were told we had got 3rd out of so many other participants. An amazing show, brilliant b...

That exact thought crossed my mind. I felt quite embarassed just watching it.
