Very jealous. Would love to do all 3 days and see things like the Tornados fly in.
Not always RAF F-35s, last year was German iirc. Was the RAF one in 2022

Nice. What I wouldn’t give to see an F-15 flying. Do you guys get F-22 demos btw?
Usually, RAF puts on a pretty good display wirh fat amy. They do this new one focusing on it’s capabilities but really its just them wishing they still had the harriers
“Look what you need to mimic a fraction of my power” - harriers watching from the museums

Another question, do you guys have pyrotechnics at your airshows?
No, at least never when i’ve been. We did have a B-2 once, it literally flew 4 hours, did one pass of the flight line and then went back home again :D

Must have been the cosford airshow F35B was at. They all merged together. (They had the mirage 2000D counch delta display from the france)
Haven’t seen a B-2 fly (though id imagine it has quite the presence). But I have actually seen a U-2 fly
B1 from fairford quite often!
Funny how Brits see more US military jets than ppl in US lol
The US is so massive its way bigger then all of Europe haha! And in the UK the US has bases you use as a pitstop for europe

They’re the best. Watched an AH-1Z demo, they had lines of small charges to mimick the 20mm impacts, and big one for rockets and hellfires
I have pyrotechnics coming from me when I see a Fim-92K screaming towards my mi-24D while I’m flaring and my ircm was on lol
Fun Random fact… the AH-1Z is 10.0 in sim, and the AH-1W is 10.7 in sim.
True, true.
I’ve seen F-16, hornet, super hornet, F-35, F-22 fly. But not F-15 which is my favorite plane lol.
Nice, good to see my favorite AH doing well in WT
Yeah, this was something much like that. Often get people hanging out of helis or Chinooks carrying things as well. sometimes a ground display involving them, but I usually use those sections to go for a wonder around the hard standings

You would’ve loved Camp Lejeune and all the aircraft flying over, I was stationed near the heli range, but occasionally saw planes overhead. Got to watch the helis blow crap up tho

Always like to walk around any ground display heli’s. They have more bits sticking out and labels than the jets usually, so more interesting to look at and take pictures of
