Andover! Must surely be the last chance to see one of those.

Just to add to the update the E-3 is doing a whole display as well as a flypast.

What is the E-3 display like i heard rumors of barrel rolls jsut rumors

Err....yeah. Barrel rolls. It also does stall turns and a supersonic dive.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't jest, but someone has been majorly pulling your leg!

[POL]

It's not?! I heard it's doing a power-climb straight in to a cobra manoeuvre! Might send my Waddo tickets back now.

I believe they say allow 3 days but having worked in the ticket office in the past I know they send them out asap normally the next day, but it will depend on how many orders have gone through as today is the last day for on line orders

B-52 has cancelled

[beefsteak]

Cancellation- It is with great regret we have to announce the cancellation of the B52 in this years flying display. News was recieved earlier that there are unforseen basing issues that cannot be overcome for the aircrafts deployment to the UK. Despite trying to work out several different plans, including static display, from both the USAF and the Airshow sides of the planning team, the issues cannot be resolved. It is a great loss from the flying display and we are all very dissappointed with the news as are the crew themselves.
