Scampton Air Show
Re: Scampton Air Show
Arrivals day No 1 (Thursday 7 Sept) consisted of the following:-
- 2 x Belgian F-16's
- 1 x Chipmunk
- 1 x RAF Tornado
The display F-16 went through its sequence and both departed again later in the day.
And that was it! So for those who couldn't be there , you saved yourselves a fiver plus travelling costs.

Thanks for keeping me honest. I neglected to say that I left the viewing area at 15.45, so I missed that one.baz1 wrote:and not forgetting Canadian F18

Re: Scampton Air Show
Going on Saturday but cannot get miffed about this since the 135 is seen regularly over my area from Europe and Mildenhall. Could get miffed if the USAF displays a bomber on the Sunday though!
Re: Scampton Air Show
They have only flown on Ample Strike missions so far. No activity on exercise last weekend. If same, not flying.

I think he means on the printed programme as a sponsor, just as RIAT do.
Come to think of it, I think the WAVE still has a board up saying sponsored/with thanks to Northrop Grumman?

Re: Scampton Air Show
I notice we are one A400 down according to the Scampton list - perhaps it has had to be diverted for hurricane relief.
Latest weather forecast suggests that Sunday is the driest with showers on Saturday.
