Seen a post in the heads up section on the Belgian F16, but nothing else.

Looks as though 2x Gr4 due and 2x Chipmunks due.

in the days of social media, there is so much info out there, on so many different platforms, i guess he chose to post on twitter alone to get to a wider audience.

Feel free to contact the poster on twitter and ask him to put his info on here.

"FANG01" ZA601 [Tornado GR4] landed in last 30 mins

Rumour: Canadian F18 1600L & RAFAT Hawk 1710L (Pos "RED10")

[Thunderbolt II]

Any news on the Canadian? Be gutted if that turns up now I've left!

[mikey2000c]

just heard on the receiver that the last plane of today will be in at 5pm/ runway closes at 5.30 (p.s i live on the raf base)

[oojerfink]

Any idea what that leaves for arrival tomorrow? Just spent 6 hours sat there to see about 6 planes... 2 of those were Red Arrows so they shouldn't really count as they live there!

[reaper493]

Judging by what's arrived
(1x tornado,2x chippies, 2x F16 (which have since dep.) )


Quite a lot!

Static and Flying Typhoons.
F-18
F-16s (dutch)
SwAFHF
Norwegian AF HS
Alpha Jets
A400
Tucano
King Air
Hawks
Merlin

plus a shed load of Civvies.

Would expect it to be quite busy.

whats the park and view like? Where exactly is it?

[Rubberneck]

just seen (from doncaster tower) a large fighter do a run and break - guess F18?

Not like Waddington, you park your car and then go into the viewing area. On the airshow map http://scamptonairshow.com/assets/pages ... 290817.pdf it is pretty much the box just below where it says "Green Customer Entry Point" on the right hand side. Seemed a pretty good spot for catching the planes as they land on Runway 22. Don't slate me if that's not the right runway number, I'm new to this game

[Nighthawke]

This thread says yes!
