phildagreek Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Something really big would be good. I remember the first time I saw a C5 in person at Finningley, maybe 1980 or 81, and then we walked through it, amazing to a young lad - I can't guarantee it was 80 or 81, I would have been about 13 or 14 I guess, there has been a lot of red wine since then! Anyways, that was a BIG aircraft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungo1974 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Should Lakenheath's 48th Fighter Wing attend with their F-15E's and they bring either for static display: F-15E 91-0318 "48OG" F-15E 00-3004 "48FW" Could any BM members did me a favor and snap some pics of the names on both sides of the nose so i can finish my models of each jet. I would be most grateful. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildagreek Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 If they come and I can get close enough, absolutely, do you mean the crew's names or the aircraft names? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildagreek Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 A couple of announcements off the official website today, the Huey team, who I confess I've never heard of, are bringing a UH1H and an OH6 to look at, [so they can't be bad people] and the Saudi Hawks. All good stuff. There hasn't been much American stuff announced yet, I hope they will be a late announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree, a good airshow is where you come away slightly deaf and sunburned from staring up into the sky all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
