Re: Waddington Cobra Warrior participants outside?

I went on Friday. The Turkish F-16s were parked on Echo and five of the Saudi F-15's were parked on Delta, with the sixth in the porta-hangar on Echo being worked on. Door was open so did see the nose at least. Access to Delta not too bad as the edge of the field/fence area has bee trimmed. Did not ...

Thank you, I don't normally get this amount of detail because I am more focused on taking photographs, surprised myself today.

Re: aircraft at waddo

I remember "hearing" the Canadian starfighter team and seeing the Frecce Tricolori in their last season with the G-91s, and the Jordanian Mirage F.1 display.
Still consider myself lucky. :cool: :cool:

Re: USAF Thunderbirds Arriving RAF Fairford

Great Photographs of the arrivals. :thumbs: I saw them on the Saturday, which I think the team leader erred on the crowd side of caution. Big thanks for that! :clap: Tired on washed out airshows. There have been so many in the last ten years or so, where the weather hasn't come through. On the pictu...

Thank god for the departing F-35's and the two air spares. Clocked a few F-15C's and two C-17's otherwise it looks like you got most of the action. See y...

Re: Required Saturday 9th July 2016

Just checked my RAF Typhoon pictures. ZK354 also made a departure in the early afternoon. Departing before the Belgian F-16 display returning shortly after it. 354(BY) is unbadged and 310 is in 1Sqn markings. ZK354 flew the display. :whistle: Sorry for the incorrect entry earlier.
