The Reds have arrived in Greece for Operation Springhawk. https://twitter.com/rafredarrows/status/1384121428987969537 Although there are far fewer photos of their training at Scampton than usual at this time of year, there's enough to get a very rough idea what this year's display sequence will look...

Shuttleworth Sea Hurricane also cancelled. Replaced by two BBMF Spitfires.

Thread drift, but some articles in the Spanish press from earlier this year caught my attention today - relevent as we discussed the future of Patrulla Aguila earlier in this thread. Despite reports to the contrary last year, the EdA has addressed the rumours that the PC-21 will replace Aguila's C-1...

Ouch, I missed that announcement. How old is that news? In all fairness, £33 is an absolute steal for access to three paid museums and eight mini-airshows. Fair play to them.

Spitfire Mk.Ia N3200 also on the list for the 20th June, by the way. Nice to see a real range of themes through the year and I have high hopes for the October show. Side note, but I notice quite a big hike in ticket costs. Up from circa £18 in 2019 to £23 last year and £28.50 this year. The £33 annu...

The joy of this announcement is slightly tempered by the fact that the P-47 has been removed from the list. As much as I want to be at the first UK airshow of the year, and particularly want to see a Buchon display at Old Warden, £49 is a hell of a lot of money - RIAT prices for just two visiting ai...

They really are one of the best teams out there. The XA-42s aren't news though, as they've been performing with these "new" planes since 2016. Here they are in 2020. The moves they do are just insane - especially those formation aileron rolls and mirror loops and rolls. https://www.youtube...

I hear this year's Flying Days are set to be bigger events than the Showcase Days they replace. Disappointed I can't make the D-Day event, but weather permitting, I think I'll try and do the Standing Together show, and probably at least one more in June or July.

What utterly brilliant news this is! I had wondered if the ramping up of the Rafale Tactical Display would mean the end of the Mirage 2000 on the display circuit, but the French Air Force's airshow participation never ceases to amaze.
