No, it's a B-53...... One of those new, secret ones.....Arkie603 wrote:What's a B-53?
Here's hoping you mean B-52 as there's 3 in Fairford at the moment

Irish Air Corps EC-135 confirmed for static.
Re: RAF Cosford Airshow- Sunday 11th June 2017
B-1b flypast confirmed! oh dear RIAT will get some flack now ha ha
Re: RAF Cosford Airshow- Sunday 11th June 2017
Why would that be?
Re: RAF Cosford Airshow- Sunday 11th June 2017
To be fair it probably will because small minded people will see this an an opportunity to attack RIAT for 'only' having them on static (which in itself is a majour coup) instead of giving praise to the Cosford team for seeing the opportunity and getting in dilect with the USAF about the possibility of the flypasts when the bombers are RTB to Fairford. Stunning work by the Cosford team

Never released until Program on the day
Re: RAF Cosford Airshow- Sunday 11th June 2017
They've been out early all week and RTB Fairford around 2.30-3.00 so if they do the flypast on route back to Fairford then they will maybe do the Cosford flypast around 2.00-2.30..
That could be completely off though as its merely guess work
