I was there. There was nothing else from 08.00 till noon.
Apparently there was a drone attack at/near Kubinka earlier on the week which may have been a factor in cancelling the rest of the flypast.

...about an hour ago, or was that three other ones?

Not really an airshow (& truth be told not much of a flypast) but at least the Swifts & the Knights used different frames to 2015 RF-81702/Blue31, RF-81703/32, RF-81704/33, RF-81705/34 & RF-81722/37 (serials not read) Su-30SM "Team Vityazi" RF-91946/Blue02, RF-92810/17, RF-92228/19 MiG-29UB plus RF-...

Mike, I have a pretty sharp ( ) shot of F-16D 89-(2)172/WA landing over Cheyenne, obv it would be against the rules to post it here....

At 08.00 Monday 17th KC130J 170278/QB USMC was towed from the hangar area.

F-35 5.50 is of course 5950
The 8th F-16 was 134/LF

We were there on 29th when there were indeed 13 Raptors on the ramp; All coded FF except 012/TY, 016, 017, 020, 025, 026, 030, 032, 035, 036, 040, 041& 043. FF027 was in the hangar as the sun went down. The WIs were (sorry I'm at WAW in transit, he'll have to work out the fiscals himself; 5696, 5697...

Yes, we were there 28/29th, but no time to post list yet.
Should be home next Sunday.
There were 14 F-22s (FF but one still TY), 8 WI F-35, 8 F-16s (various tail codes) & 6 FF T-38s (plus 8 OH F-16s on 30/31st).

8 x WPs (the [allegedly broken] CAG not logged but another a/c reported partially visible in the hangar) & 5 CGs read off this morning, serials in due course. About 13 Blue Angels here as well, mainly coded "7". They're flying so perhaps serials to follow. OK, here we go: WP02/164551, WP08/165383 (e...

As the team least attractive to watch & most deserving to be relegated (but what do I know), regular readers may be interested in their takeover by the Friedkin group. The CEO, Dan (lieutenant ??) is a very highly qualified pilot so don't be surprised to see whatever can be dropped from a Spitfire o...

The prta del angel caida of the Retiro on C del Alfonso XII (just up from Atocha) gave a good side-on view last year, the map suggests the same route.

Yep Israel has succeeded in drawing Iran fully into the conflict.

Now we are totally off topic unless damaging a sun shelter counts, so please confirm Israel has drawn Iran into the conflict by allowing the islamic republic to fully finance, train & arm every bunch of murderers in the region?

Up to three British Chinooks were until recently in Jordan, presumably detached from Cyprus, but I noticed two of these on the tracking sites a month or so ago returning to the UK. There may have been a third, and they may have been replaced. ADSB coverage round here ain't what it used to be.

"two Typhoons and a Voyager were up"
Without wishing to comment on R.A.F. active missions, two Typhoons and a Voyager tend to be up from Cyprus around three times each day. Would the world be less safe if they went home?

According to our incredibly reliable English language press only the US Navy & Jordan assisted last night. Fortunately all was over in time to listen to City on the radio.

Today's strike on Yemen was spearheaded by F-15Ds and undoubtedly F-35As & KC-707s.
Fridays adventure featured appropriately 16 F-15I "Ra'am" some with 4000lb GBU-28 " Bunker Busters" followed by a second wave using 2000lb GBU-31 / BLU109s

Eagle eyed (former) Sun reader (when I raided the easyJet waste bins) spots entire squadron of naked (can one still say that?) stealth jets from Tel Aviv (well, it'd be Tel Aviv North for Mr Ryan). (No need to mention they were blocking 260-280, why spoil a good headline).

Per ADSB two French A400s and three A330s up from Istres this morning, all heading SE together with (some of) the Typhoons.

Bushande has indeed hit the nail on the head, at the moment the F-35 is in its element in an offensive "package" with 4th gen bombers (F-15 Strike Eagle & derivatives). Just look at what happened in Baghdad where the (R)F-4Gs went in first, then the F-117s then the "mud movers". The "Battle Penguin"...
