I had asked for the Tracker in the SC 30th Anniversary markings but they sadly advised that it is under overhaul and will not be out before the 17th so it will be a "normal" liveried aircraft

I would be very surprised if you heard anyone complaining.
Is this our lot or are there any more surprises to an already fantastic looking line up ?

I believe last time someone said on here "shame it wasn't a proper Tracker"

Hi Phil, I have just PM'd you. I have a late comer who is wanting to go, doesn't use the forum.
Cheers

Nothing is really confirmed until wheels touch down.
Nice moon outside at the moment hopefully not a lot of cloud around tomorrow night.

In theory the 3 x French AJ's were due to depart around 08:30 this am, as far as I know they are still there - perhaps they overslept

If QQ101, Turbo Tracker and the C-130K all turn up there won't be room for the Alpha Jets...

I'm sure Phil will make room
I see he's had a chat with God again, over the weather, looks like a good night. I'm just getting ready to get down there. See you guys later.

One of the French AF AJ's has asked for start up 10:45. Martin Baker inbound, six onboard so that will be a King Air then.
