2012 Fairford IAT Frequencies, Aircraft Arrivals and Times

[RJ79]

Having a rough count up that makes about 215 planes (both static and display) with still 2 more updates to go. Let's hope there are still some good additions from the USAF too.

Good job as always Robin

Russian companies are committed to Farnborough, unless something very drastic happens they will be there. DSEI is a good example of a trade show where the exhibitors commit despite what is happening in the world. Knights are also committed to be there but as they are state military then they could well be pulled as any stage...

One thing to remember for air-air / display freqs for some participants, F-5's, MB-339's and the confirmed F-16's each have one VHF and one UHF radio. So if working military ATC on UHF inbound they will be chatting on VHF then vice versa once with Brize then Fairford on VHF ATC.

[HunterF6]

Sorry but unlikely due to lack of time, the freqs used by F16s have been well documented in the past, likewise the Swiss and Saudi freqs. For the 'new' teams then searching will be required for the freqs, all part of the fun

I believe Volkel supply the the Dutch display team this year. So probably search them would be easier


The Belgian display team used 143.375 when transiting the UK last year on a couple of occasions and used the call sign BAF 495

[HunterF6]

would suggest losing the (P) and (S) for Pat Suisse, as mentioned theyll use whichever band isnt in use for ATC. Breitlings used <136.950> last year. Jordanians and BBMF will use Twr freq. Also would suggest losing the 'Fairford Approach' freqs which are correctly listed as Brize.

[HunterF6]

141.850 was Netherlands F16 demo 'airboss' last year, using UHF tower for ATC

Page 1 updated with new additional aircraft

Thanx Robin!! One question i hope you can answer is: why did you put Spain and Ireland in the list of participaiting counties, something you know?

Greetings,

Global Hawk and Mantis are both Full Scale Models (FSM's, at least that's what I think it stands for!)
