[Mark]

Great news, thought i'd missed my chance to bag a Lancer!!

[Red-Eye-Knight]

Oh hell yeah...That is awesome the Romanians are coming this year after the tragedy with the Mig-21 just before last years Riat.......Also heard the Apache demo team back for 2019 which is brilliant hopefully with 2 Apaches and not the 1 but 1 would be good enough

[Red-Eye-Knight]

Imagine if the American A-10 gets confirmed at some point along with the EAV-8B Spanish Harrier and the Romanian Mig-21 now that would be some lineup.

Single ship for the Apache this year.

Let's hope for a couple of different air frames this year if true...

If all comes together it sounds pretty damn good.

I'm still hoping for the Polish Mig 29. Saw it at Cosford last June and it was a great display!

[XH557]

Sadly the MiG-29 Demo Pilot is in hospital after crashing earlier this month, there is, however a chance the Slovak MiG-29 will attend

[Ed H]

Sad to hear about the Polish MiG29 pilot. I still have fond memories of the demo in 2015 - that take off
