[gixrgill]

a sign of things to come perhaps?? are the tiffies still going to leuchars to do QRA? I really want to see that F3 display im in lincoln

[Unknown74]

I don't like the sound of that gixrgill and gary, sounds as if someone has knowledge of something we don't know yet.....All I'm saying. Interesting about the added TriStar and the Transport Flypast being removed as well.

RAF Tornado F3 - 111(F) Sqn

Its coming up on the Display list... Any ideas if it means a flypast or possibly something else? Im hoping a one of 'Demo'

[GOOSE]

A mate over at Leuchars said he saw an F.3 do what appeared to be a practise display yesterday, early evening?

I wish he'd let me know as I was in the area but far enough away not to be aware!

Anyone else confirm?

I hope we may see something at the show! I have a freind in St Andrews I will txt him and see if he noticed anything

[Flyingmonster]

Just spoken to my Freind up in St Andrews and he said the only thing he saw was one in the cuircuit about 8:30 pmish. He said he will see what he can find out when he is at the Fence today from anyone

2 6sqn Typhoons on Static, according to the website now
all the best Dougie

Will they be marked up in sqn colours by then I wonder?

Hope they are marked up. Rumours i've seen around the web suggests they will be marked up at Leuchars during the airshow week.....

11 September 2010
The Standard will, however, be marched past the Chief of Air Staff, ACM Sir Stephen Dalton, during the RAF Leuchars Air Day on the 11th September. Members of the public will be there for that event in large numbers and 6 Sqn association members will be welcome at the Veterans enclosure.
Wg Cdr Roddy Dennis informs us that this will be the first opportunity to see 6 squadron aircraft in their official colour scheme.

Great Update!! 4 x F3s is superb!!! Any Ideas what they will be doing?

[canonfan]

Great News

[RichC]

Is it just me or is the Leuchars line up starting to look a bit 'samey' from year to year?

Living in Scotland I'll take what I can get and attend pretty much any year but I rarely even bother looking at the line up prior to the show as I could have a darn good guess at it in advance.

It's the same with most airshows nowadays in the UK. The interesting stuff which visit most of the larger European shows seem to "halt" at the English Channel.
With all the interesting things now being mothballed, most airforces now have the same type of aircraft.

[Gary]

Strange there is only on USAF aircraft listed so far. Possibly a final update to come?

How many USAF participates does Leuchars normally get? I know last year it was a B-52,KC-135 and two F-15C

[SamP]

Been known to have an E-8C in too...

[warlord27]

Does anyone know if there are any scheduled arrivals for thursday 10th as this is my only chance of seeing anything of this years airshow as i'll not make it on saturday 12th. I was going to go up a run since thats my only day off college.......would love to see the BUF coming in more than anything else.

They are getting their markings the week prior to the airshow. 6 sqn officially stand up on Sept 6th, and that is the date they will be applied at Cby.

this is what you will get









As for leuchars, 2 statics are all that are coming now
