Probably the Irish.
[tweet]https://twitter.com/cosfordairshow/status/871750683569029126[/tweet] Chips, American Football ball and a hot dog? Does seem to suggest USAF, mind you will they want to come if the first and last two are the go-to clues for their nation?
The chips and hot dog could just indicate the show is near Wolverhampton, first impressions would say it's a healthy city what with 90% of the population wearing track suits. In all seriousness anything from the USAF would be a bonus but please let it be a B-1 doing a barrel roll
The weather looks like it should be nice for the weekend. A lot of low pressure weather this week then some nice high pressure weather for the weekend would be just the ticket!

I believe it was down to do 3 passes last year before the weather had its say, 1000ft is the lowest they can go I believe peter said last year. Of
Would be nice but I wouldn't automatically assume more than a single flypast, if it comes back round consider it a bonus.
Still not sure I will be going this year likely going to leave it until the Saturday night and see what the forecast is then make a decision but if they sell out before then so be it not the end of the world.

Unlike the RAF, the USAF are cleared for three passes at various speeds/configurations, if I recall the commentary right from last year when he made the infamous "Well at least you can hear it - this is what you could be seeing" comment

Only Voyagers, you'll need ADS-B or planplotter to view military, the B-52's dont show up on them either way as they transit with tgeir transponders off.
