Re: Daks Over Normandy - June 2019

Since when has 25 been massive? take the Reds and BBMF out and you only have to find about 5-7 aircraft :lol:


agree, should have said 'fighter jets' instead. It was 31(tornado's, harriers and typhoons) at the 90th flypast?

Re: RIAT 2017 wishlist

as it is USAF's party I would like to see a long, long row of F-16,s F-15,s F-22s, F-35's, A-10's.

Together with flying display's of both USAF jets and heavies I cannot be to bothered about other nations.
