ok looking like all pretty cool so far but ya have to remember its the 20th anniversary of it this year and i aint missed one. yup am a big geek lol  plus its 15 mins from where i live so what the hell rofl  suppose its a good lineup for those who aint been before to any airshow or for people who just like the loud, fast moving things with the pretty fire shooting out the back but couldnt tell you what they are called, its not really for the insane enthusiasts like me who can tell ya what plane it is just by engine noise (yup its sad lol  ) but i know places to go to watch the planes doing what they are supposed to do, terrain following and bombing the shit outta things  

it'll be awsome anyways, its a great day out and i get to take photos of pretty planes  just hope i get a new camera in time lol only got till the last weekend in july.

i've heard a few little rumours about what might be there, all unconfirmed so i'll wait and see. heard there may be a F-86 Sabre, the vulcan may do a fly by and theres a possibility of a RAF role demo with tornados, hawks and an E3-D (thats one of those big planes with a huge disk on top if ya dont know, its a flying radar) that would be very cool if so. i been getting rumours of a B-2 spirit for years but its never happened yet. never know though

....sorry... i tend to get very very geeky when it comes to planes lol

i'm gonna be posting notes for a kinda meet for it for anyone whos interested. its for ya all, dont matter if you are an enthusiast whos happy to argue the difference between a tornado F3 and a tornado GR4 in shape or you know nowt about planes cos theres allsorts that happen on the ground too. hopefully gonna have all that up and sorted in the next couple of weeks, with buses, trains, parking and stuff like that and where we'll be so if ya wanna come hang out with the geeks ya can as long as ya dont mind me talking ya ear off about the performance envelope of the current thing thats flying or something along those lines rofl  thats if i tear myself away from taking photos lmfao

right.... time to walk the dogs.....
