Bournemouth Airshow
Bournemouth Airshow
Has anybody got any idea of the flying programme for either Friday or Sunday please. To be quite honest there is some much on that weekend, I'm torn on what to attend and trying to find information to help me make my mind up.

Re: Bournemouth Airshow
I start a weeks holiday in the New Forest that weekend so plan on going to Bournemouth Airport on the Sunday for a couple of hours to see whats around. Usually most participants base themselves there for the weekend. Bournemouth itself gets rammed when the Airshow is on.
Lets hope the weather is good.

Re: Bournemouth Airshow
Any idea if that's good info ? A 1 hour break in the middle of the afternoon on Friday seems very odd. In the last couple of years the afternoon session on the Friday is done by 16:45ish. Just interested as It would help in knowing what train I get back home.bizfreeq wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 2:39 pmShow timetable:

Re: Bournemouth Airshow
A US Navy P-8A will be participating in Friday's display.
The U.S. Navy has confirmed their P-8A Poseidon Surveillance Aircraft will be flying past Friday afternoon at this year’s Air Festival. This specific Boeing plane has been developed for the U.S. Navy (USN) and modified from the Boeing 737-800. Powered by two turbo fans and with a wingspan of nearly 40metres it’s going to be an incredible sight.
First flown in 2009 the P-8A will be the youngest aircraft participating at the festival. With a military naval role, it doesn’t transport passengers but fulfils one of the primary mission of USN anti-submarine warfare.
LT Justin Branch, lead U.S. Navy Officer said: “It’s a privilege to support the Air Festival, this is our second engagement taking place in the UK this year and it is always a privilege to be included in these events. We receive amazing support and eagerly anticipate opportunities to strengthen relationships with our allies and showcase the P-8A Poseidon.”.
Chris Saunders, Head of Operations, Tourism added; “The aircraft will be part of Friday’s line up, to have U.S. Navy support, and importantly for them to see the significance of the festival, really highlights the strong relationships we have with our Armed Forces partners.”
Regarded as the UK’s most successful civilian air show with brilliant day and night time entertainment in the skies, on land and in the evening, the 12th Air Festival, takes place 29th August – 1st September 2019.

Re: Bournemouth Airshow
Anyone on here know when the Draken is likely to arrive at Bournemouth
Re: Bournemouth Airshow
For anyone travelling by train, I've just seen that the RMT have called industrial action over the weekend (including Friday), so best make sure you are using an up to date train schedule - there are significant changes.
