I'm hoping there will be a few late additions, but it's looking increasing likely we have the final participation list. Two weeks today lets hope the sun is shinning for arrivals :lol:

Great we have tiger meet F-16 but disappointing ERJ-135 has cancelled its a fairly rare bird! hope there is one acting as support aircraft like last years arrivals day

Well, I guess the thing to do is to save your money, stay home, and go to Yeovilton instead. Support the show that looks like delivering the goods! :)

I'm a little surprised the Norwegian are only sending the Historic Flight. I know the F-16's are busy, but i would have loved to see a Norwegian P-3 or C-130 :lol:

No, they have been in Europe for at least a month. Their support is a white box van.
