Big Jet formation sounds.......interesting

[airtyphoon]

Rumours Going around that the Big Jet formation will be Vulcan,Vixen,Canberra and Hunter.

[Hurn]

Don't want to put a dampener on things but I think the Sea Vixen is still yet to gain it's display authority.

They were hoping to fly it again on Tuesday, but it still had technical issues after doing a ground run which meant it didn't go up.

Fingers crossed they might get things sorted over the next couple of days and are able to fly because that big jet formation sounds awesome.

[Blackcat1]

Nah, it will be Vulcan, Canberra and B52!!!! lol, that would be great!

[Blackcat1]

So the Typhoon giving the Frenchies a display instead!!! grrrrr
