The Leuchars airshow 2012 arrivals thread.

ArabJazzie similar thing happened with the Dutch KDC-10 at Waddington although a KDC-10 did do a flypast on the Saturday so you never know what will happen. Shame about the Hercules and the Orion.

Also Any sign of any Helicopters yet?

There's a chinook, griffin and a Gazzelle in so far oh and a Puma too.

Dutch C130 has just departed. Anyone know what's happening with the KDC10 and Orion?

Calum

Pity the Hercs gone as i understand Leuchars were trying to keep it!

I have heard the Orion cancelled and the KDC slipped 24 hrs because of tech issues. Might not make it by the looks of it but there is still time. Just!!!
Arabest,
Geoff.

Cheers Geoff! I thought they'd be trying to keep it. Fingers crossed for the DC10 though! The Dutch DO228 is just in and tr sentry is taxiing for its display practice.

Calum

Cheers Calum,
Any sign of the Army Defender and the Sentinel?

Took today off a while back but family business means i couldnt get in the end! Been great following all the updates though!
Arabest,
Geoff.

Sentinel came in a wee while ago but no sign of the defender at the moment.

Someone on Scotavnet reported a Typhoon coded FH yesterday and seen as EH has been in Spain this week, i dont think they have mixed em up!

[Unknown74]

Just sorry there are no Gripens at the Show this Year. If there had been my 3 favourite UP TO DATE Jets (Typhoon, Rafale and Gripen) would have graced the hallowed tarmac which is RAF Leuchars - Fighter Town Scotland together for the Airshow.

[nickowen]

'loudish' jets of some sort and quite high up and close together, side by side.

They were 12 Sqn Tornados, RAFAIR callsign, inbound Lossie.
