Any news on USAF participation yet? Will be interesting to see what they send this year, given the - err - climate.

Overall a good show. No delays of note getting in or out. The static line was impressive - the Viper line in particular, although one jet was a few mm out of line - hey ho, the doubters will have seized on this... The display pretty reasonable given the conditions (Saturday). Given the forecast midw...

A couple of us were travelling in one car on Saturday. This is no longer possible, so will one of us be able to park in the show without displaying a car pass?

Thanks

I forgot to get a car pass last year and got away with it. The stewards are just too busy to check every car.

Gripen currently mixing it with the gliders at Little Rissington

Nice video fella. Best one posted so far...

Would make a nice Gate Guardian!

Nope it's gotta be a Buff or nuffin'

That 25 hour mission must have really taken it out of the old gal.

Is it still here? No thread since the engine run last week.

Runway?

Running in now - tight

Looking forward to the vids of that

25 is in use at Brize. Fingers crossed it'll be 27

Maybe straw-grasping but Typhoon Apollo41 out of Cranwell is heading purposely NE across the North Sea - photo opp?

There's another KC-135 tracking over the North Sea tracking south, according to FR. No ID but its out of Geilenkirchen. For those trying to find it its just about to pass the Delta flight DAL161

Lanc overhead now

Crazy busy this evening

Not quite the same watching the display on FlightRadar TBH.

Here comes the Buff now fellas! Really shifting as it passed Brize - great sight

Surely the show schedule will give a clue as to whether it's supposed to display? It was scheduled for a 5pm slot yesterday before it got cancelled

That tanker flypast was a joke B-52 launched hours ago only to wait for a kc-135 for it to fly 5 mins ahead of it? What a joke what kind of flypast is that?

From my vantage it seemed the KC-135 got the call to run in and the Buff was slow to turn in behind it, hence the separation

Must have long ol' boom on the 135, given how far behind the B52 was.

Was fun seeing the Buff motoring to try and catch it up
