Ells228 Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 http://fighter-collection.com/cft/tfc-diary/ Duxford September Airshow update number 1 Posted on September 8, 2014 by admin Posted in TFC As usual it is a busy lead up to the September airshow with engine and airtests. The P40F was out today for a run up. That brings us rather neatly on to the weekend and what you can see from the Fighter Collection. We will have more news as the week rolls on. As well as a number of our aircraft displaying in the air the DCS team will be in the hangar. Where do these guys find the time? We asked them for a sneak preview of what they were going to demo and they said No! You can see why when you learn they are going to demonstrate for the first time in public the up and coming VEAO P-40F and F8F-2 Bearcat!! How cool is that? You can also try your hand flying a P-51D Mustang or a Focke Wulf Fw190D-9? So come along and have a chat with some of the pilots from the Virtual Horsemen and VEAO Simulations. With the release of the VEAO Hawk on the near horizon they will also have this being demonstrated in 3D on the Occulus Rift! The crew from Virtual Aerobatics and VEAO will be here all weekend if you want some hints and tips for your DCS technique. Hope to see you guys there, Chris.

joey45 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I might have enough money for just one day. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Alicatt Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I would rather be going to Duxford than to KB! Wish you all the best at Duxford :) I'm taking the family to the Belgian Airforce Days at Kline Brogel Airbase on Sunday, three great display teams will be there Patrouille de France, Frecce Tricolori and then closing the show with the Red Arrows. There were going to be some WW2 aircraft there but it is now down to just a C47 (BBMF DC3) and a Spitfire. http://www.belgianairforcedays.be/index.php/en/ They have been practicing this morning, turning the corner above my house: Sons of Dogs, Come Eat Flesh Clan Cameron
