[Tony Kearns]

You and your props!

Now, now no personal remarks, Oh most respected (rotund ) Leader.
To show that I am not totally intolerant I would stop to look at a Victor (but not that heap of Sh-one-T), even though it too has four primus stoves up it's ass. Despite that it is a really nice looking aircraft. 
Ok. OK I'm gone.

Looking at the above list one thing strikes me

Why can't the IAA and other interested parties not invite any of the above aircraft to Display in a proper Airshow  the September date would be suitable since most if not all the aircraft may be available

Please Discuss......

[Tony Kearns]

The real aircraft (Spitfire of course) is not coming, what a disappointment. Not much use going now, might just feck off to the west of Ireland for a few pints.

Far too logical for the powers that be! Hope to see it at some stage - would probably have to be EINN for the A380 though (not a problem)

Will the  A 380 be making refuelling stops at Shannon as part of the planned US flights ?

Not likely, they have a good range.

Swiped from YouTube basically a "display Pilots briefing video for all pilots taking part in Flight Fest
some interesting points worth noting :

All aircraft will get 2 runs  
Baldonnell & Weston will also be departure points as well as Dublin

All UK inbound may be put on a southern hold before commencing display
It's all explained on the video including ATC FREQ

This YouTube link is very comprehensive and could prove helpful when deciding where you will position yourself on the day

I'm off to Raf Leuchars this weekend and seen that the VULCAN has cancelled due to a fuel leak in one off the Vulcan's tanks (No7)
A worrying development in the run up to to Flight Fest

Hi,

Anyone know if both IAC Casa 235s will be displaying at flight-fest ? Both aircraft have been flying in formation over the past few days

[Tempest]

That'd be a pretty clear sign And I'd be disapppointed if the 3-ship PC9 wasn't actually a 4-ship on the day!

4 ship PC9 and CASA formation practising today I believe.

[Claudel Hopson]

Make sure ye all bring your good cameras Sunday, the PC9's will be slightly different from other years and displays.
