That is the most amazing Joint Warrior line up i have ever seen... i mean calm down with all those aircraft!!!

[CosmonautX]

I can see there will be some exciting visitors for us to see up close on the Enthusiasts (Half)Day

Ah, well - will be good to visit anyway, but looks like I'll have to think how best to shoot P-8s (assuming they're not off out when we get on) and not much else! Mind you, I do like the Pelican tail on one of the visitors...

[Lewis MacRae]

Was thinking of taking my tripod and six stopper for something different! We'll just have to hope for some typhoons returning or departing when we are on Delta. Would be a different perspective.

Niall,

168860 was seen heading South over the Central Belt earlier today, heading for Sig.

1 would have been a spare in case the othere broke down

So three in total I'm sure those who decided to give this one a miss are glad they've
saved themselves time and money.
For those coming still let's hope the weathers nice for you and no need to book a
place at the fence too.

Well they've sent back a bit too quick considering the Ex hasn't even started yet.
