[Nighthawke]

14:46 Boeing 42E single F-15QA line up and wait

QA538

Departed to Lakenheath leaving just QA536 on the ground at Farnborough

I may be bit behind but I thought that made two at Lakenheath so where's the fourth one please?

17:33 the canopy on both AV are up

The white Casa C-295 with 230 on the side is about to be towed

The Italian EF2000 are nicely side on to the Costco carpark

I won't be here but a security guard said Friday is free to the Public! Can't believe it to be honest but it would a nice thing to do

Did the static one depart Farnborough?

[slogen51]

Sorry my mistake causing confusion - i forgot there were three F-15QA at Farnborough

So now there should be two? Although from outside with the plebs I can only see one

[Nighthawke]

Thanks - not going mad after all!

[grahamdskinner]

At the moment the Slovak UH-60 is due to depart early Saturday morning, the support C-27 due in Friday mid morning
Saturday should also see a USAF C-17 and A-400 from Turkey arrive as support both due to night stop

Just to confirm there is 2 F-15QA left at Farnborough after the 1 which departed earlier today

The one which departed was the one which was in the static area

The log for Farnborough from visits on Sunday and Monday. Not everything is visible from outside, but most are except the UH.60M hidden in the chalets area.
The number corresponds to the number on the Farnborough airshow site map to help find what you are looking for.
There are civil and military but on this occasion I think I should be forgiven.

This one is a demonstrator for the Multi-engine training system (METS) - the replacement for the USN T-44...

I watched QA538 depart - it was one of the two that were on the flight line at the west end on Monday evening after RIAT

[Flightline UK]

The F-15AQ that departed was carrying the stores. The 'clean' display is due today.

[Gruncle 01]

Can confirm from photograph the F35B, callsign Marham 11 that did display today was ZM142/008

[puma2]

C27J 1962 Slovak AF arrived this morning around 1130

To add to the flypasts, I can also confirm from photos,

Chinook ZA707 RAF supposed to have dropped RAF Falcons
F35B ZM142/008
B52H 61-0016/LA 2BW USAF @1515.

Typhoons MM7318/37-35 and MM7318/37-35 departed 1443

C130J 19-5945 (KY ANG) USAF departed 1625 as RCH197.

I've never seen an F-15 do a display before...

Hands down the best there IMO. Are most F-15's that agile,or are the QA's something special?

[CHESTER_DRAWERS]

Did the Chinook head back to Odiham post display ?
There was a Chinook over the far side when I returned to my car ..FR24 suggested there were two on the ground ?

Having landed immediately after its role demo, it departed again soon after, just before the B-52, I seem to remember.

There was also the US Army Chinook on static display, or are you asking about a second RAF example?

[CHESTER_DRAWERS]

Many thanks ...yes I saw the US Army one ...I thought the display one departed (and seem to recall the commentator saying "Back to Odiham" ...at 17:00 there was definitely a Chinook over the farside ...on the bizramp it would have been visible from Eelmore.

[Off Airways]

Not seen it reported and may only interest a few but three SNCAN SV-4's arrived around 9am; one of which was ex Fr.AF (G-HJSS / 1101)

The other two were G-AYIJ & G-BWEF, forming the Gravity Global Stampe Formation Team.

(Other Friday-only display items not mentioned yet were Extras G-NGTC & G-IIJM, Jet Pitts G-JPIT (not that it managed to display as issues with the jets meant it missed its slot), Aerosuperbatics Stearmans N5057V & G-IIIY and Pipistel Velis Electros G-OFWD & G-OELC.)

On Thursday ZA707 would fly in and deposit an underslung load including the straps - then display - followed by a landing over by the biz area and someone on a Quad bike came rushing up to the ramp presumably with the strapping and drive on to the Chinook which then departed from the taxiway back to Odiham after only about 10 minutes on the ground. The whole thing was repeated for the afternoon demonstration
