Cosford Air Show 2018 - Shawbury visitors
Re: Cosford Air Show 2018 - Shawbury visitors
No one has said they arent coming just waiting on def times as we dont work on alledged movements
Re: Cosford Air Show 2018 - Shawbury visitors
As a few years ago the base told all the French Mirage team were coming. They didnt as Cosford show didnt book LOX for them. Cosford said they canx for operational reasons ! Thats why we wait until they are actually on their way.
Re: Cosford Air Show 2018 - Shawbury visitors
All info is great , adds to the excitement of the build up. Having an afternoon at Cosford tomorrow hope to catch a practice or two .
Re: Cosford Air Show 2018 - Shawbury visitors
Any updates on arrivals today.
Also any suggestions on viewing spots as the last time I was at Shawbury there were Chipmunks in the circuit and Wessex doing the helicopter training!

PLF 032 showing on ADSB just leaving Poland
Re: Cosford Air Show 2018 - Shawbury visitors
The Polish Mig's arrived at Leeuwarden with a delay of aprox. 2 hours.
So if they continue today it will be a rather late arrival. The Casa is only arriving in Leeuwarden in 30 minutes, so around 14.00Z.
Pieter,

Re: Cosford Air Show 2018 - Shawbury visitors
Are you sure that it did validate at Cosford or just familiarising with the airfield ?I guess if it was a validation then it won't do another on Friday or Saturday.
Re: Cosford Air Show 2018 - Shawbury visitors
People at Cosford said it didn’t validate today .
Re: Cosford Air Show 2018 - Shawbury visitors
Thanks for that,I didn't think it would so soon after arriving.Probably just familiarising with the airfield.Hopefully catch it tomorrow afternoon or Saturday.I think Cosford airfield opens at 14.00 hrs on both days.

Re: Cosford Air Show 2018 - Shawbury visitors
It landed on the fourth or fifth approach at Shawbury. There were fast approaches and steep climbs plus wing overs with and without wheels down. So to be clear I am talking about approaches at Shawbury.
Re: Cosford Air Show 2018 - Shawbury visitors
I left there at 17.40 and it looked settled, the airfield ATIS was also updated to indicate the Tower was closed so unlikely it will leave. From Acton Lea you can see it from behind only and the MiG is side on - not sure if any other spots will give a better picture while it is parked.
Thanks to those who gave us the advance warning of this coming in.
Cheers
Re: Cosford Air Show 2018 - Shawbury visitors
