RAF WADDINGTON - Airshow 2012 - general info

[jon93]

Saudi hawks are a great addition and will be a first for me. If the reds are stationed at waddo for the weekend that will be nearly 40 aircraft from display teams alone and then the demo teams bring two aircraft with them, is there even enough room for all these goodies.

Theres plenty of room dont worry on static side on opposite side of airfield
One of the Saudi Hawks is on static too, heres hoping for Saudi Herc

[beefsteak]

Seeing as how they only 'live' 10 miles up the road , i doubt that the reds would be based there for the show !

Shame we have lost the Apache role demo

[youth]

Can the Grob arrive strapped to a Mirage please!

[Peted]

Any update on the Vulcan participation please - Airshow website not working/showing civilian.
B52 - is there any estimated FP time please ?
Thanks
PeteD, York

[youth]

I wouldnt expect a flypast time for B52 this early I could be wrong but would have thought the organisers would wait till they have full line up
Of aircraft before times etc are arranged

[seven]

Vulcan will almost certainly be there if it can make it-servicablilty wise, BUFF should be late afternoon, i understand the plan is depart FFD, route south to Lyon, back up to Waddo then inbound FFD.

Was looking forward to seeing those, as allways with airshows the list and specultaion are not worth the paper until the wheels are on the tarmac.
they will be other drops outs as normal still to come. and some more addtions that will Rock also.
