So What Display Aircraft

Postby Mayfly » Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:17 pm

do you think will float your boat this year? -

I'm looking forward to the Apache [obviously] and the Hawk as Jules Fleming has been chosen to display it... :ymapplause: as well as the F16 :D others too but I think those are my top 3.
In memory of a very dear friend - Mike Pearson

Very fond memories of Robbie Gilvary - DTs 1st Vulcan Captain who taught DT all he knew.

Vulcan, BBMF & Reds. Bit predictable I suppose - oh, and the Brunty Lightnings.

Any chance of Martin Withers doing a slow, dirty pass and a big power climb as at Wroughton in '92 which happens to be my favourite video clip (I was too young to be there O:-) ).

If true that would be awesome!!

I'm looking forward to seeing the Flying Bulls P38 Lightning at Legends most at the moment :)

P-38 for me.

I'd like to see something different this year. The Reds haven't held my attention for years, not that I don't admire the work they put in to it, I've just seen it all before. BBMF will get a look if they show the Dak at any of the shows I go to. I've seen 558 fly a few times now so I'm not all that fussed

The thing that would REALLY excite me, would be if someone stumps up the cash to get the HHA Buccaneer to a show.

I think that's it, I'm always looking for something I haven't seen fly before. Might even venture to RIAT to see the A-10 ;)
NB; Any negative comments I post about the Vulcan are posted SOLELY to wind Gregg up!
