You both need to go to the fairford air show ! Best ive seen is the mig 29 OVT. I managed to get the pilots hat too. Due to the fact I was working on base at the time I met the pilots walking around after there display chap i had the had off is a pavel Vlasov.
Must be one of only a few mig corperation hats in the UK.

Hat can bee seen in this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeiqMn7xb_Y

This may be a stupid question but does anyone know if the air displays are the same on both days,really want to see the spitfire and chinooks

I've been to fairford a couple of time and it is the best show I'v e been to.

Still the Swansea one seems good value for money for whats on.

I'm not sure whats happening on each day, but according to the web site the display on sundays is on for less time than the saturday. Don't know if that means there are less planes, or doing short displays.

I used to go to fairford with my Dad when I was younger. Mig 29 and the Rockwell B1 Lancer used to be my favourites. Might go for a wander down there at some stage over the weekend. Weather looks a bit iffy for saturday though with a low cloudbase. http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/HOBBIES/aviation_fo...

Did anyone go today weather was st didn't hear anything going over either

[SCOTTE999]

only one was the blackcats, the rest was called off and i got soaked

[dannytherev]

Went over the Bay this afternoon was well worth it "battle of britain" fly past was awesome The Typhoon was still my pick of the day and the Chinook reminded of all the soldiers who have died recently in afghanistan fighting against the taliban

[SCOTTE999]

went back today, typhoon was good, the things that chinock did was great, the seaking was also good, however the highlight for me has to be the red arrows amazing to watch.
