Fair point perhaps they never had press days ha ha.Pity press days not friday!

The Turkish A400 has stopped at Aviano Ab in Italy for a fuel stop

Also due today are the US Navy Herc and P-8 and the Vulcan

There is also a TURAF39 following on which also looks like it is currently in the descent for Aviano. Unfortunately no type showing.

Paul

The radar image has just split into two aircraft TURAF 39/40, would suggest that it is Soloturk plus spare just on final descent into Aviano.

Paul

Gnat Display Team due in Friday at approximately 18.00.

Out of interest are there many acts that perform practice displays on the Friday?

The final part of the Turkish contingent is now showing on FR24. Indicating at FL200 and just passed Zagreb is MARTI1 which from its HEX code is Turkish Navy CN235 TCB-653.

11.05 The food must be good at Aviano as the Casa is also descending into there!

Paul

I'm updating @EGXWinfo on twitter with any information available - We have very little for tomorrow but this is the latest information I have put out:



Only addition since then is the Vulcan ETA at Waddington of 1500-1600L

Is there likely to be any information on what practice displays are on each day?

According to the Patrulla Aspa twitter page they are enroute and possibly due at 13.02. Nothing heard on the scanner at the moment

Patrulla Aspa @PatrullaAspa · 23h
@Alvarito @WaddAirShow ETA 13:02 local on Wednesday

no eta's for other inbounds today then as yet guys

TUAF 937, the A400, is also airborne from Aviano and it and the two F-16's are currently tracking on FR24.

Paul

It almost looks like the A400 is currently acting as shepherd for the two fighters from the radar plots.

Paul

Neither TUAF nor TURAF are correct, they should be using HVKxxx!

It is what they're showing as and they are just south of Stuttgart at the mo.
