Hi guys, where can i find out if it is definately happening today. I have a 3 hour trip to get there, many thanks

Apologises if this has been mentioned before but the first official arrivals day is Tuesday I believe, does anybody think that the aircraft at Yeovilton Air day on the previous Saturday might arrive on the Monday. Hopefully not, i understand when an aircraft is travelling from the states, japan etc...

With Fairford due to have a lot of work in preparation for the RC-135 throughout 2018 there is of course the possibility that the runway may not be operational in July, and DBH may well be putting together a contingency plan in case that happens. I imagine this won't cause too much difficulty, they...

No it can't.

No it can't, but the RAF does limit what it does in an airshow, whereas the french are a little bit more generous in its airshow flight envelopes.

Hi guys, First visit to Duxford on sunday, so bit of info required if I may please. Coming by car, i have a parking permit so: Which is best way into the site A505 from A1 or up the M11? Car you watch the flying display from your car? Are there plenty of food stalls albeit expensive i expect Is it w...

Did anybody get any shots of the reds at Dawlish Friday night, I have heard that they flew a different display line and missed the hill completely?

Any idea on timings please and are they operating from Bristol or bournemouth?

Does anybody know when the BBMF and Reds are displaying at Weymouth. Also are they operating from bournemouth?

Looking at those lists would it be too much to wish for B-1s, B-52s, F-22s, F-35A&Bs, F-16s, F-15's, A-10s, numerous C-130s, KC-10, Kc-135s, Ec-135, C-5, C-17, AWAC, including thunderbirds, plus US marine, navy, reserve, home guard stuff etc etc. All possible I reckon

My question is did RIAT celebrate the US's 50th and 60th and if so what aircraft made it onto static and flying and how many would be able to come back next year?

Blimey I thought we got about 220 last year. That said, for me its the best flying line up for a number of years even if the static is going to look a bit thin.

Does anybody know what is the number of participating aircraft looking like compared to recent years?

Out of interest stu, where were you stood to get the XV Sqn tonka with the Spanish taking off over the top??

I reckon

Bournemouth Thurs - Sun

Dawlish - Sat

Shoreham - Sun

Hopefully
