Wow, thanks for the heads up. Just been down to runway 31 end as that's what the ATIS was saying whilst we were kn the A55. Got to runway 31 and they've updated to R13.

Do NINJA include the IV(R) special tail, do you know?

Thanks in advance!

Ninja are provisionally fragged to be taking ZK020/K (2012 Special tail) and ZK014. Isn't the 'special tail' getting a bit 'last year' now?

Cheers - it is, and I was hoping for them both to be "normal" ones as I need to shoot more of those!

Just grabbed a quick shot of them as they sat cooling their brakes on ASP1!

Nice surprise there, another typhoon low approach R31

When are the typhoons on asp1 due to leave. Didn't catch his reply when asked on the radio earlier.

Two tornadoes just done a low approach R31. Heading back to the Lichfield corridor

Well wasn't today worth the wait?! Thank you Cheesy for the heads up. Got to runway 13 at 1000 and left at 1715. Great to see the 2 Typhoons and even got a wave from the back seat driver!

Lovely pass by the Tornados too. My all time favourite aircraft (apart from your Hawks Mr Cheesy obvs). Now red as a beetroot but a very happy bunny. Has to be my best day at Valley. Last day here tomorrow! Hope to see you all again soon. p.s. what time do you expect the 2 x Typhoons to leave tomorrow? Tina x
