What have you heard?

Raptor 1970
The Wave, & the Park and View are both off the A15. If you come from Lincoln you go through Bracebridge Heath and the Park & View is on the right hand side on the camp the Wave is 100 metres farther on left hand side, and I don't think is allowed to open.

If Leeming's true then may have to persuade my dad to take a holiday and pop down the road.

Trying to make my mind up on which day to visit, I can only afford one day so need to chose wisely.

I see the B52 is on Sunday only but will the Koreans perform both days, if they are confirmed??

Cheers,
Paulo

Black Eagles confirmed for Waddington :thumb:
The Black Eagles will make their UK debut at Waddington!
17th May 2012

For the first time ever the Republic of Korea Air Force will be seen in the skies above the RAF Waddington International Air Show this summer, with their Black Eagles Display Team, in what will be the team’s very first UK air show appearance. The team, who reformed in 2009 to fly the indigenous T-50 Golden Eagle training aircraft, will arrive in the UK in mid-June and then display at RAF Waddington before moving onto RIAT and Farnborough. The T-50 is an advanced jet trainer first flew in 2002 and is capable of Supersonic speeds.
