The Planes TV livestream was fine yesterday, a bit laggy (a couple of mins) but otherwise no problem.

That said I'm not sure I see the merit in paying to watch an airshow live. Still I guess if you can't make it or missed out on a ticket it could be worth a peek.

One was dragged across yesterday which would suggest it's being left out all weekend?

Was that a small sonic boom I heard on the fast pass from the Swiss F-18 just before it landed?

Don't think it was a sonic boom but certainly felt something. Was right over our caravan.

Bryza officially cancelled, the 2nd RAF Puma and 2nd F-15 also not arrived so most likely cancelled.

Just had a low fly past from what looked like an F-35A and an F-15E. Presumably to welcome the arrival of the E-4B.

Is the E-4 with the USAF statics or out of the way?

At 5PM when we left it was right down the green (western) end next to the German A340. I doubt there is enough room on the taxiways to drag it to where the other USAF statics are.

Anyone else notice the Greek F-16 turn over the crowd in afterburner at Eastern end on Friday morning when practicing? Presumably a bit wide when getting bearings for display line and a small warning inbound.

Yes… he was very close Friday morning but they cancelled his practice display Thursday while he was waiting at the end of the runway.
They had problems getting everything out of the holds and the ground. Some were getting low on fuel.

Did the Swedish historical flight Lansen/Viggen/Draken turn up at all ? Waited until after 1500 but still no timings.
