Just a thought as i have just been looking at tickets for Fairford.

 

Is anyone going to any airshows this year? If so what ones and what days? is there anything that you are looking forward to seeing?

 

I used to go every year as a child and went pretty much each time to Biggin Hill. I have not been to one for a good few years so really want to see how the Eurofighter flies as i have still yet to see one.

update on the vulcan

 

 

It flew once after its refurb, then the organisation who rebuilt become skint as it just too expensive to fly. So don't think you will see it anywhere soon. Shame.

 

The same thing happened when blackpool airport was given a vulcan bomber, It also flew once. Blackpool airport saw the bill for the 1 flight and grounded it for the rst of its life

One of the best airshows is/was the yorkshire air show at elvington (richard hamsters crash site) just up the road from me. Seeing a harrier jump jet hovver right in front of me was fab. Its usually the weekend before august bank hol but I heard a rumour they weren't having it this year which is a shame.
