Can I ask what are the likely call signs for the aircraft coming from conus, sac c-17, e-7a and c-2 please?

[Red Dragon]

The RAAF E-7 will more than likely be “ASY” (Aussie) but it could be “Wedgetail”

[play it cool]

C-2 first up today

[edhunter]

Has the b-52 cancelled?

[G-CVIX]

Has the b-52 cancelled?

Due at 1000 according to the sheet.

[CJS]

Has the b-52 cancelled?

why would it have?

[Rick]

CF18 has posted on Twitter he's going into FFD via the Loop from Yeovilton

[edhunter]

Has the b-52 cancelled?

why would it have?

Not sure if it has or hasn't but there is a post on fightercontrol and some posts on twitter saying it has cancelled, but they don't if it's just today or cancelled altogether.

B52, Polish Fitter, Dutch Herk and RAF C17 all cancelled from what I have just overheard from one of the organisers

[Airshowhammer]

RAF C17 always cancels. Very disappointing because of the RAF lineup, will be the only one not there? Gutted about the B52

[HeyfordDave111]

EEeeeeeeek,
If they all have cancelled then that's leaving a fair bit of pan space free now!

[Gripenfury]

It is official now on the website, B-52, Dutch C-130 and Polish Fitter have cancelled.

[Skyflash]

Yikes, that’s a fair old whack out of the static. Very disappointing.

[Airshowhammer]

The RAF cancelling at their own event.....

[G-CVIX]

The RAF cancelling at their own event.....

RAF C-17 hasn't been officially added to the list as cancelled as far as I know.

[HeyfordDave111]

So, Herc, Su22, Mig21 (obviously), C-17 and a B52 all cancelled, this is not only leaving a gap or 5, but quite big ones.

Maybe we should start a cancelled thread, so we can keep up with these just in case it starts to get messy?

[rockfordstone]

the fitter is an obvious cancellation off the back of the mig crash.

as for the others, well these are active air forces so this sort of thing is expected

MQ-9B is now confirmed for tomorrow, not today as on sheet of lies.

It was always supposed to arrive on the Wednesday.

[play it cool]

S*** happens, the show goes on.

Is the French C130 a new item??

Is the French C130 a new item??

Support only I think... according to the sheet it’s due back out this afternoon. Probably just dropping off supplies and/or support personnel.
