Another airshow season has been and gone, but what are you all looking forward to in 2008?
Mine will have to be the sight of 2 gladiators in formation of uk skies (where ever it may be) and hopefully the sound of a roaring vulcan setting off many a car alarm!!!

What plans are there for the RAF 90th?
By: mike currill - 19th November 2007 at 11:46
In my case just getting to an airshow would be good, but preferably something with the emphisis on historic aircraft. Regardless of those who knock Legends I reckon that is likely to be my one chance of meeting that criteria as it is most years. I would dearly love to get back to OW again though as I haven’t been there for far too many years. Also getting to Bruntingthorpe for an engine run of one or both the lightnings.

I must admit I didn’t think this year was particularly bad for accidents (I do appreciate that any accident is bad enough), especially compared with some previous years.

enjoying a safe, incident-free yet enjoyable show season, the rumoured (?) 4 aerobatic teams (Snowbirds, Reds, Patrouille and Angels or T’birds) at Quebec City (June 13-15), and possibly a hop to the UK or the continent to actually catch a show this time (still highly doubtful, yet I can still dream)… Duxford would be neat, but any large Mil show would fix me nicely.
oh, and I’ll concur with Blue Robin… getting a real job… 😉

Well it was only the hurricane that crashed this year and last year I think was accident free not sure?
O so thats ok is it:mad:

It was not ‘only’ the Hurricane, that took the life of a very well respected pilot

Its gotta be the Vulcan,followed by,P40,FW190,109-red7,a second Lanc if it comes over & a safe,accident free season for all to enjoy-here’s to the 2008 season.:D
Well it was only the hurricane that crashed this year and last year I think was accident free not sure? Is the Canadian Lanc ment to be coming over next year then? And whats a B-36? 😮 Oh one last thing that I would like to see is TFC 72 Squadron livery Gladiator do a flypast with two 72 Squadron Tucano T1 😎

re
maybe selling my battle of Britain screenplay to a company who know what to do with it.
Not having Waddington spoiled again, and seeing the vulcan flying – the 1st ever flypast I bought mentioned it had just been retired. i got into the scene just too late!
how about flying over fields flour bombing those idle b******s that sit in deck chairs cos they are too stingy to pay to get into airshows? 😀 😀
