Tek Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Who's going and what are you looking forward to seeing? amongst a LOT of other things.....

Milli Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 I'm going on Saturday. Hoping the F-35 is flying. I think i read somewhere that they have been grounded due to an engine fire. Hope not. Will be nice to see the Su-22 though. And god I wish they'd fly a Phantom sometime before they go into extinction. I hate static airplanes! Regards, Milli

Regards, Milli Yes - it's been grounded pending investigations into it's cause
Chris1012 Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Yes - it's been grounded pending investigations into it's cause It's not looking great but it isn't decided yet, I've heard they were due to fly over last Friday but that was delayed. The final decision hasn't been made (/published yet, due 'early next [this] week'.) RIAT is a big deal, but missing it wouldn't hurt sales too much Missing Farnborough on the other hand... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Why yes, I did just crash...
Godzila Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 amongst a LOT of other things..... SU-22 for me :pilotfly: You will find it very easily. Follow the smell of leaking kerosene. I saw it last year at Airpower in Austria and it had pans to catch fuel underneath:megalol: Probably standard issue:megalol: I forgot which country operated it.
Python Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Wish I could, I was at Waddington over the weekend, always a good day out although last year was much better. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Cowboy10uk Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 I'll be there Sunday. Never miss it. Should be good though. Some great aircraft showing this year, fingers crossed the F35 makes it. But not holding my breath.

Tek Posted July 8, 2014 Author Posted July 8, 2014 F-35 is still on the schedule according to website etc. It would be great to see i have to say even though it is turning into a right calamity in general. So much negative press that i wonder how much of it is true.........

Milli Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Just saw a Textron Scorpion. Posted this in the Scorpion thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2113234&postcount=13 Regards, Milli
Eddie Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Stuka and I will be there tomorrow. Currently in Swindon drinking too much.
joey45 Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Thought I'll go and see proper planes instead.. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Tek Posted July 12, 2014 Author Posted July 12, 2014 RIAT was great. some planes missing which was a shame. Red Arrows i have to say were spectacular. Too many f-16's though in my opinion. will make a video montage of some (crappy probably) footage and post at some point.

Python Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Too many f-16's though in my opinion. Can't have too many F-16's lol. Glad you enjoyed the show though, shame the Vulcan and F-35 weren't present. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Basher54321 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Dont worry - in 20 years they should all be replaced by F-35s - then you will have too many of them.
