As has been said so many other times (mainly by myself I suppose) at Airshows these days you just have to take what they give you, I reckon they can only send what they can. Whats available...............

Location : Scotland Spotter Watch Member : No

The J-STARS was [planned to be] across for a reason though, not just for the airshow.

Location : Irvine North Ayrshire Spotter Watch Member : no

I Was thinking about not checking the forum,from now until Airshow but it is always too tempting Ha Ha, i know there was paveway up at Leuchars recently, it would be nice if they could send one up for the Airshow,that and a Herc, that would be good what do you think Thumbs Up

Thanks for the reply Smile

will be great to see any buff and will be one of my highlights from the show even on static but i'm kind of hoping for a 23rd BS aircraft from Minot Laugh
