Re: Cosford Airshow 2024 - 9th June 2024

If they're hinting that its fast jet related then I hope its at least an international jet.
Typhoon is basically a guarantee every year so just isn't that big of an announcement.

Maybe they've realised that bigging up the show, trying to build anticipation, interacting more via social media, then announcing the first act as the autogyro isn't the way to go?

Re: Cosford Airshow 2024 - 9th June 2024

Don’t know if I’m clutching at straws but the Cosford Instagram seems to be hinting at an F16 appearance for 2024. That’s based on the post and a comment I saw πŸ‘€

Re: Blackpool Airshow 2023

Typhoon was great on the Sunday. The pilot this year definitely knows how to show it off properly. A lot of burner. Hope he stays as the pilot for next year πŸ˜„

Re: Cosford 2023 thoughts and views?

Just got back from an enjoyable day. I missed out on tickets so made do with viewing outside so cannot comment on the showground exhibition. It was an 'ok' show but not one of Cosfords best I'm afraid. Pat Suisse were very good and polished as always, Reds i thought were pretty good too. Loved the ...

Re: Cosford Arrivals 2023

No idea I'm afraid, I'm just tracking them whilst at work. Spitfire G-PRXI is currently over Cannock Chase and Rich Goodwins G-JPIT was in the vicinity of Cosford a few minutes ago too. Looks like the Typhoon is waiting to form up with the photo-ship now. ADS-B it definitely looks like a display ro...

Bah, my flight doesn't get into Birmingham until after 2pm. Wouldn't make it down in time. You are seriously flying to go to Cosford? Wow- But it begs the question why? I'd suggest there are lots of shows if you want to go to the expense of flying that would probably work out cheaper and orders of ...

Re: Cosford Airshow 2023 (discuss everything)

Mass exit at 4pm lol. Never understood the post-red arrows mass exit. If I was Cosford I'd stick them last on the display list so you don't have people causing carnage trying to get out in their cars with over an hour still left of the display. So many interesting displays don't get seen as half of...

Re: Cosford Airshow 2023 (discuss everything)

Mmmm think some of you chaps are letting them off the hook somewhat!? 1 x reheat solo aerobatic display - no F16s, F18s, Rafale, JAS39, etc; says it all sadly. I guess they apply to the international air forces and then those air forces allocate items at shows. I may be wrong on that but I don’t kn...

Are people forgetting how tame it was last time and there was no hover? I'm still not convinced it's cleared to hover at Cosford - would be delighted to be proven wrong, however. We shall see - nice addition.
There was a hover. I remember because my eardrums were nearly blown out by it lol

Re: Midlands Air Festival 2023

From clips I’ve seen of the typhoon display at MAF it had a few segments with no afterburners on and seemed quite tame. Is that due to restrictions or is that just its display this year?
