Re: RIAT 2024 wishlist.
No, just the prototype JAS 39E that was at last year’s RIAT.

Re: Antidotum Air Show Leszno 2024 (21-22.06.24)
I still dont understand why the Polish Air Force is so reluctant to showcase their sovet-era aircraft at airshows, especially considering that they will be retired soon. If last year’s Radom airshow is anything to go by, they are sending a very clear message to Russia, regarding both aircraft and m...

Re: Interesting Internet
Or they could just buy SH-60s like everyone else, or NH90 NFHs for commonality with their transport fleet. The costs of putting a type that has been out of production for 5+ years back into production for just a handful of orders would surely make the Wildcat an unviable proposition. Especially as t...

What could possibly go wrong? 🤷🏼♂️ Well at least he's not going for rocket power I guess, light touch paper and retreat. And the glider flies well in Germany. The glider was grounded around a decade ago due to structural concerns. It is occasionally taken to events for static display (as at Melun ...

Re: RIAT 2024 - discuss most things thread
This is almost certainly the final year for the Danish F-16 demo so I guess we should be grateful for it, whatever colour it’s painted.

Re: RIAT 2024 wishlist.
There was one at Duxford the other day, perhaps it was so that the IWM could check to see how much hangar space it will take up in their forthcoming Cold War exhibition

Re: Last of the Wild Horses - for P-51 fans
I’m looking forward to receiving my copy. Just be aware that shipping from the US is very expensive nowadays, and pretty much doubles the cover price of the book.

Re: Old Buckenham Airshow - 27th & 28th July 2024
Having spent 10 minutes researching online the proposed provisions of the legislation, it would appear that this whole thing is nothing more than a gross over-reaction by a group of well-meaning but ultimately uninformed amateurs organising the event. The proposed legislation is still at the consult...

Re: Old Buckenham Airshow - 27th & 28th July 2024
A lot of families attend Old Buck, with chairs, picnics, blankets, etc. This will certainly cause issues with their main target audience, who are certainly not photographers with large camera bags.

Re: Current aircraft being restored to flight
That’s one for the future. The long, long term future. You speak of it as if it is currently being built. The harsh reality is that they have not started to build a single part yet and are still faffing about, at huge expense, re-creating jigs that already exist, and are proven, in New Zealand. It h...
