Leuchars airshow 2012

Hi all, been trying to access the official web page to see if there were any last minute additions to the flying display. Site seems to have crashed. Has anyone else noticed this? and more over, has anyone heard of any additions to the program? Best regards. Stavid.:)

Reminds me of Cosford, that was a dire display and a pittance of what went before, last time I went to Leuchars was in a Fouga and the show was huge… It stuck in my mind as a brewery sponsored it so there were fridges and chillers full of free booze for those visiting aircrews, so we kept popping down for a quicky…. Hic..

Not quite like the old days is it? I think if you are north of the border and dont mind taking your shoes off you might have a more interesting hour or so at the mosque.

Ouch!! bit strong lol. true enough though, not a single foreign fast jet flying. Pretty poor compared to previous years. Must say itll be good to see a couple of heavies in the B-52 and E3, can remember a passing B-52 doing one touch and go a few years back and that was impressive, cant wait to see a full display.:D
