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 :O and then the demo teams bring two aircraft with them, is there even enough room for all these goodies.

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

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

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.
