After it lack luster and boring display at Duxford last year it was hardly worth booking.

Money better spent on other acts.

I hope there is going to be an addition to the line up such as Typhoon, F15, Tornado, something that is in active service and has loud aft burners, otherwise it might just be a show I will miss this year.

[Pen Pusher]

It's a Duxford show, you don't need noisy jets beside there are the Red Arrows and an F-86. 10 Jets not enough?

Do keep up. F-15 ???

Something like the Belgian F16 (or Dutch F16) would be a welcome addition.
It was our star of the Spring Airshow last year, with it's flares and smokewinders and new colour scheme, a very memorable performance.

The best addition would be to have the same weather as last year

Looks like Duxford themselves don't think 10 jets is enough ......... Hunter TBC

Nothing like the roar of jet thrust and the smell of burning aviation fuel to make a day worthwhile, Bring on the fast boys lol

Don't go to duxford then. Every show covers a certain criteria, shuttleworth for example. Duxford is a classic show. Want high power, noise etc etc then go to Wddington

Just saw this on Facebook from FlightlineUK

The Eagle Squadron will fly in formation with the Red Arrows to close Duxford Spring Air Show.

[Gooner]

Does anyone know if The Reds are using Cambridge on Sunday & if so their ETA - (from France I presume) ?
Also,is their display the closing item of this year's show ?
Thanks in advance

Now that looks tempting, Jamie

All we want now is for the blinking weather to play ball

Cheers

In your opinion maybe but but I know many people who were delighted to see the Vulcan at Duxford last year. What did you expect it to do anyway, barrel rolls and loops?
