Re: Anatoly Nikolayevich Kvochur
A real shame to read this. Wrote his name into airshow history following his much recorded MiG-29 crash and rapid ejection at Paris and then onto a long (and relatively safe!) period of beautifully choreographed Su-27 displays either solo or leading the Test Pilots duo around the world. We were trea...

Re: Contractor Red-Air at Lakenheath query.
Reported in multiple places that the RAVN Hawks have headed to Prestwick from Lakenheath today, apparently on their way home - they haven't hung around on these shores for all that long (well, arrived in Early December but weren't regularly flying until Mid-January and have somewhat fizzled out in ...

Re: Cosford Airshow 2024 - 9th June 2024
When Cosford mentioned ‘you won’t have to imagine soon’ with regards to International participation, it could be as mundane as a static NH-90 and Baby Blue, so wouldn’t get hopes up. Last year though regardless of how poor the show was, I thought the crowd line was atrocious. Crammed in between hot...

Re: Mark Petrie - RIP
Glad you've done this - was going to start a thread myself, deserves more than a footnote in the interesting internet thread. A UK airshow stalwart and has done so much to fly the flag for classic jet preservation and a thoroughly nice bloke to boot. Always a decent show in the loop, or indeed at lo...

Re: Sywell Airshow 2024
The sun will be directly down the runway at around 1510, and then it will gradually move so that you're facing into it as the afternoon / evening go on. I was hoping that this wouldn't be the case, but i guess it is what it is. From what i can work out, if the aircraft do fly a topside in from the ...

Re: RIAT 2024 - discuss most things thread
You might know exactly but as a quick guesstimate - with over 40 years of F-16s at IAT at say 10-20 examples a year on average ( flying, spares and static) . Must be over 500 total F-16 appearances - pushing toward 1000? Go on , I'm game! Your numbers aren't far out by my reckoning, First appeared ...

Re: RIAT 2024 - discuss most things thread
The Firecat is a really lovely little gem. Midnight Hawks are lovely too. As awesome as the F-18C is from them, for the sake of variety, it’s nice to have that team back. With them, the Reds, and rumoured Saudis, it’s nice to see so many legacy Hawks in the air for the (unofficial) Hawk 50th year. ...

Re: Goodbye to the Belgian F-16 Display
Did they have two demo pilots between '88 and '96 or is that list incorrect? They frequently had 2 display pilots, particularly during the '90s/early '00s when we were literally tripping over airshows. Usually different wings - 1Wing with 349/350 Sqns started the displays with 10 Wing (23 & 31 ...
