2. Administrators Jabo Posted February 26, 2016 2. Administrators Share Posted February 26, 2016 Who's up for this? Initial participation list is as follows; Flying Aircraft ListThe American Air Show28-29 May 2016The flying display will commence at 1.30pm and finish at approximately 5.15pm.All flying is subject to weather, serviceability and operational commitments.The close relationship developed by America and Britain in the First World War is represented with a flying display by a Nieuport 17 and a pair of Royal Aircraft Factory SE5a biplanes.Before America and Britain became official allies in the Second World War, Britain bought American equipment to prepare for war. Glorious 1930s aircraft, including the Boeing Stearman, North American Harvard, Spartan Executive and Ryan STA demonstrate this period. IWM’s Supermarine Spitfire Mark I flies alongside a Spitfire IX and a Hurricane, representing the American pilots who volunteered to serve in the RAF prior to America entering the Second World War.America’s entry into the Second World War, post-Pearl Harbor, is symbolised by B-17 Flying Fortress Sally B flying in formation with P-51 Mustangs, the ‘little friends’ that accompanied these majestic bomber aircraft. The P-51 Mustangs will be intercepted by a Hispano Buchon representing the Messerschmitt Bf 109.The war against Japan in the Pacific was fought over long distances. Aircraft launched from carriers played a vital role alongside their land-based counterparts as the A6M Zero (replica), Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, Grumman Wildcat and Vought Corsair show in a stunning display which represents war in the Pacific.AircraftDassault/Dornier Alpha Jet x 8 (Saturday only) Patrouille de France, French Air ForceNieuport 17 R Gauld-GalliersRoyal Aircraft Factory SE5a x 2 Great War Display TeamBoeing Stearman Golden Apple OperationsNorth American Harvard Aircraft Restoration CompanySpartan Executive N PickardRyan STA P HollowaySupermarine Spitfire Ia Imperial War MuseumSupermarine Spitfire IX Old Flying Machine CompanyHawker Hurricane Historic Aircraft CollectionBoeing B-17 Flying Fortress Sally B B-17 PreservationNorth American P-51D Mustang Norwegian Spitfire FoundationNorth American P-51D Mustang Old Flying Machine CompanyHispano Buchón (Messerschmitt Bf 109) Aircraft Restoration Companyde Havilland Dragon Rapide D & M MillerPiper L-4 Cub FrazerBladesPiper L-4 Cub A AcresDouglas C-47 Skytrain Aces HighMitsubishi A6M Zero replica Aérorétro F-AZRO?Curtiss P-40C Tomahawk or P-40F Warhawk The Fighter CollectionGrumman FM-2 Wildcat The Fighter CollectionGoodyear FG-1D Corsair The Fighter Collectionde Havilland Canada Beaver Aircraft Restoration CompanyNorth American T-28 Fennec Groupe FennecNorth American T-28 Fennec Radial RevelationFlying participation confirmed on 15 February.

2. Administrators Jabo Posted March 10, 2016 Author 2. Administrators Share Posted March 10, 2016 new participant info here Nice to see the Tiffie2, Reds and Chinook on the list now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluBear Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 If I can afford it, i'll probably go on the Saturday. The Frenchies have been more entertaining that the Reds in recent years (in my opinion) and i'm probably flying out to Barca on Sunday so that stumps that.

BluBear Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I see tickets are still available for this show... I'm tempted to go just in case the worst happens and Duxford airshows are resigned to history later this year. Are there any Dogz still interested? I'd probably go on the Saturday.
