The Hunter GA11 XE707 now has tiger stripes for the event !!, and the ex Spanish Air Force Navajo fuselage is on static display on a very interesting undercarridge 🙂

At quarter past one in the morning i thought it humourous. Apparently at lunch time it was over your head (so to speak) Happy landings.

I saw some really good airshows there over the years, and the personnel were always so friendly.
Who does the base belong to now, and is the non-air side part still intact ?

It would be nice to see one of the 81st FS hogs currently deployed at Lakenheath this week, perform a sneaky flypast on Sunday…:diablo:

That’s a pity. I would have liked to get it in my logbook and it’s long enough even for my landings.

Do you know if they are accepting fly-In visitors and, if so, who is the contact?

No, non-resident aircraft will not be allowed to use the runway i’m afraid 🙁

I’m not sure what the airfield owners have got planned for another airshow,it would be great to think they will have one in 2012 as last years was so popular.
