Can’t people just be happy to see what’s there? Even if you’ve been told that a particular plane will be there, there’s no guarantee of it flying. Just be grateful that you have the best warbird show in Europe.

You’re right Robbo. However I really enjoy the pre-show forum speculation, it’s part of the whole experience. There will be so much there that I for one won’t be disappointed by any unfortunate last minute drop-outs.

Just think Mk V all those sad faces if it doesn’t make it I hope it does as it will be a lot better than the 4 engined version.

Great news, at least we’ll get to see one B-17 flying at Legends! πŸ™‚

That’s very exciting. Thanks for the tip.
From what i’ve heard, there are many surprises planned for Legends 05, which is supposed to be the biggest yet by far!

Just pray she doesn’t go tech or anything else happen to stop her from attending. I can’t wait to see her. Never thought she’d visit us.

Wow, didn’t expect this one! πŸ™‚

I got to see the static example in the Danish museum at helsingor a few years ago, and it’s quite an impressive beast, never thought I’d get to see a flyer though. Well done to all concerned for getting this organised. πŸ™‚

My thoughts also. Although it would be nice to see the resident one airborne as well.

Great to see the SAAB headed our way if only for a weekend.
