I hope others follow suit. I will be gutted when the Vulcan is grounded, but you guys are giving me another type to look forward to. Even at the ripe old age of 32, I’ve never seen (or heard!) a Shack fly. 🙂

I know that many airshows are quite expensive to attend, and that freeloading may be the only way some people can get to see them.

I prefer to use the term ‘stealing’, because that is what the “freeloaders” are doing IMO. Aircraft are expensive to operate.

I have no issue with people standing outside the ground to take pictures with their expensive photography equipment, so long as they contribute at least as much to the show organizers.

if anybody see’s an airframe at the local museum that’s looking a little tired why don’t you join the volunteers and get stuck in. Many museums are short staffed as we all know and yes there are the H&S regulations to take into account but with a bit of training almost anybody could lend a hand looking after an airframe.

I tried volunteering at Elvington, but they demand a minimum of 4 days per month. That’s a pretty big ask for most people.

Agreed, J-20 look like a futuristic stealthy Mig-31 IMO. Given Sukhoi’s track record of making big jets ultra maneuverable, the T-50 will no doubt be a very capable dogfighter.

Are the conra-rotating propellers the reason it sounds so different to other Griffon Spits?

*shock horror* Strike aircraft isn’t a dogfighter.

Some amazing pictures there, thanks for sharing! 🙂

The crowds were huge, it reminded me of the good old days of the airshows.
