Shaping up to be a good show. Haven't any Greek Hercs so will be happy to get a shot of her.

Having not been to a RNLAF open day before, could someone advise if Friday is a display day or similar to an arrivals and practice day? I'm tempted to travel over but may only be able to make the Saturday so interested to know what i would be missing!

I have no idea what it means, but from the Dutch MOD website:

Friday June 20, the emphasis is on working with the Air Force, Saturday, June 21 revolves around the use of air power. On both days, visitors are through to see, do and experience brought into the world by the Royal Air Force.

I fear the Friday may have very little flying but a lot of getting up-close to aircraft...

yeah, thats what i saw but couldn't translate what they are trying to say!

Thanks for the info Jeroenvv, very helpful. Now to decide if i can work it to be there both days!

Some additions

Seems like the Jordanian Falcons have cancelled. On the plus side, Polish Mig-29 confirmed flying

Has anyone heard back from GRAS about the spotters day yet?

Set the arrivals list up ready for Thursday!
