It won't be the same pilot now,but in '76 I saw a Belgian pilot stunt fly an F-104,and come back later to stunt fly one of their replacement F-16's!Madman.

My son will be working there again this year as a volunteer. Very exciting for a 15 year old to be working in the cabin where pilots are signed in to fly

 

[Frutos]

Patrouille de France now confirmed for Friday and Saturday too.

 

[swindonseagull]

Yes, in my calendar for next year. Like you, I haven't been for a few years. They were good shows back then, but since the US have been involved in the Middle East they haven't sent as many aircraft, due to 'Operational' reasons. The last show I went to the B2 stealth bombers were making their first trip to Europe and they were escorted by a couple of F15/16 (can't remember which!) and they did a double flypast. Spooky batwings, but an impressive sight. I think that might have been the Lakenheath show!

Thanks for disclosing it is a Flying display,similer to Farnborough ?
