Waddington Air Show 3 July 2010 – Saturday

I enjoyed the show and even that is an understatement. It was extremely well packaged.

I was very pleased when the Vulcan made an entrance from around the corner of the crowd line. However, what I have never seen before or never seen so well is that when it got almost halfway up the crowd line it tightened its turn as if heading toward the crowd but continued to turn for an underside pass back in our direction.

Very good.

Normally from an entrance from the corner rear, an aircraft continues to turn topside along the whole of the crowd line or levels out (depending on the length of the datum) whilst some other aircraft then disappear again before commencing their display.

Very Very Nice pictures – crisp and clear. Did you get the serial on the Czech Gripen? It looks like 9242 which was the same one that did the rehearsal on the Friday for the aborted 2008 RIAT.

Absolutely pointless me saying it, but fantastic work as usual!
I haven’t seen an F5 / T-38 for years!

Very nice pics indeed. Having seen them at Biggin and now these photos, do I presume that the BoB and Tornado routines are on the schedule for most of the airshows this season?

It seems to be the general opinion that it was a great show. I know I agree with you. All the pics are realy nice. Good catch on the GR4 bomb runs.
