Have a listen to ATIS 280.300 if you have a scanner that will be your best indication. If the Typhoon is going to display should have a message like bingo +10 13.00 to 13.30 zulu

I was flying the Cessna 150 transitting the CBY Matz/ATZ to the east of the airfield when the Typhoon took off. Was told to maintain height and heading as we have a Typhoon doing a max-rate take-off. Did he ever! watched him rotate, climb vertically, roll off the top and pass right to left in front of me 2000 ft above me (I was at 3000ft, he was at 5000ft by that time - i.e. no time at all). Heard the Spitfire in frequncy but didn't see it. Great sight to watch from the air. Thanks to ATC for the grandstand seat.

Display was for some Omani VIPs, plus a currency check for Dubai.

I would expect that after Dubai that will be it for the season.
