Catching some arrivals

Post by GouldJordan14 » Sat Jun 24, 2017 10:44 am

Hi all,
Had a great time last year on the Thursday and Friday watching the arrivals. A few people had an approximate schedule for when bits would be getting to Fairford and I was wondering if anyone had anything similar for this year? Really hoping to catch the Americans, particularly the B52 and B1 arriving and was wondering if anyone knows when they'll rock up?
Thanks guys

Doubt we'll find out when anything is arriving until the morning, unless, of course, flight plans are posted on here again.

Yes, at both ends of the runway. You're able to do either, believe it costs less to book in advance but you're welcome to turn up on the day and pay.

I've took the plunge and bought tickets for Wednesday arrivals, Saturday and Monday departures. Just hoping that the star items arrive and depart on those days. Really looking forward to seeing the static items in the air..

Majority of things tend to depart on the Monday. Although, the Turkish usually depart on Tuesday.

Enjoy the show!
