Re: RAF Chinook Display Team 2021

They'll be using a special-scheme Chinook to celebrate the type's 40th anniversary in RAF service this year.

Re: Leszno "Antidote Airshow" 2021

I've just seen the full flying schedule and wow there are some stunning announcements to come! I'm going to tick off quite a few things from my airshow bucket list at this show. I'll even take the 10 days of quarantine (again) for this. Among several announcements today is the incredible Ocovski Bac...

Re: World Championship Air Race

Re: How old is "too old" to get my private pilot's license?

One of the most active members of my local gliding club is 92! And one of my good friends on the airshow circuit is well into his 70s, still doing some pretty complex aerobatics. I don't know how typical that is, but for some, it's clearly possible. How many of them actually learned to fly later in ...

Re: Skyswarm, Stanford Hall - UK

If they want to go down this road, I can see Skyswarm becoming a major season-opener event. Add a handful more aerial displays to fill the 1hr gap between the Spitfire and Aerosparx, increase the size of the drone swarm (which will happen anyway) and the job's a good'un. Shame the Spitfire was so hi...

Re: World Championship Air Race

Kevin Coleman, former RBAR Challenger pilot, has announced he will be representing the USA. For which tier, he does not specify. Very excited to announce that we will be representing the United States in the new World Championship Air Race. There is a ton of work to do but we have a great plane and...

Re: Leszno "Antidote Airshow" 2021

Throw in some Soviet fighters and I'll book my ticket :D Would 100% recommend considering this as a secondary show when you manage a Europe trip. It doesn't get much military stuff but in terms of atmosphere and intimacy it's unbeatable. Plus the crowdline has a 90 degree bend in it, so things come...
