I am at Farnborough at the moment, and have been viewing from Ullswater ave playing field, someone today thought it was a good idea to fly a radio controlled drone until it was hard to see up in the sky in the airspace above the field .

was that around 1315?

[GVLCN]

If the f-35 turns up it'll be a great show, will be great to see a Spanish harrier display. Been a few years since I've seen one fly.

Has the Spanish AV-8B Sea Harrier been validated for the air show?

Heard that it hasn't and wonder if it will fly this weekend.

oops. It has been validated.

Saw it validate, its a nice routine with an impressive power up and away from the hover.

Great display by the Spanish navy harrier May I ask what serial it is please

There were two there when I visited on Tuesday:-
VA.1B-38 coded "26" in static southside
VA.1B-24 northside, presumably for flying demo later in the week (forgot to note code for that one)

Hope that helps,

Best thing I have seen all season, brought back memories of years gone by....fantastic to see a Harrier derivative in UK skies once again! Well done the Spanish Navy

The Spanish harrier displayed today (Friday) . Boeing aren't flying anything although the P8 is now sporting a pair of harpoons under the outer pylons. Note that the exhibition halls are going to be closed for the weekend due to pilfering last year (according to our courtesy car driver) and the souvenir programmes hadn't arrived as of today.

Boeing didn't fly anything today as a mark of respect to the Malaysian Airlines catastrophe which involved one of their a/c types. Also all the flags in the showground were lowered to half mast first thing this morning as a similar mark of respect.

I realised about the flags but I didn't hear the full story from the Boeing rep.

Early F/A-18F Super Hornet flight was 168890, the other F/A-18F being in static. Nice to catch it flying twice as I missed it at Fairford.

Shurely shome mishtake here...

Two fast passes with "max rate turns" that disappeared off towards Blackbushe, a lengthy hover and climb out and then land.

Looked darn awful and a real disappointment.

[Supra]

Saw the AV8 'display' on Friday & what a disappointment! I was waiting patiently on the north-side of the airfield for some vapour squeezing tight turns...it was the shitliest! I've seen oil tankers turn tighter than that! Closest it ever got was take-off & landing. To think I was waiting to be reminded why we should've kept the RAF ones, only to wonder based on that feeble demo' why we kept 'em so long?

[GVLCN]

I think they were being cautious with the display, the dedicated RAF display was a lot better yes. Still very nice to see one flying again, best item still the vulcan & constellation was stunning too.

The AV-8B did a very good display on Friday, including an extended hovering and hovering-turns section right in front of the centre area of the crowd

What is all this about?? As long as the crew were operating within the defined safety limitations of the aircraft & rules of the aerodrome I don't see the problem.

Are companies not allowed to “show off” their product in a safe but dynamic routine anymore?
