So guys, what's your recommendation; P&V West or East for Departure Day?

Depands on what you want, if you want all aircraft, then East. But you get also a lot more than aircraft alone. West is nice for take off, but you wil miss fighters as they will be to high for a decent shot.

Edit: mixed up... corrected

The "usual" Netherlands' Apache demo helicopter Q-17 will not be at Fairford.

Yes, maintenance.

I presume a "plain coloured regular" Gilze-Rijen AH-64D will now be sent to RIAT this weekend

AIRCRAFT UPDATE: We have a last minute addition from the Irish Air Corps - an Airbus CN235 on static! #RIAT15

Does anyone know the IDs of the US Army helicopters that arrived as "DUKE77 flight" please? I think they're all I'm missing from my website!

Thanks!

Just two Mark? Q-18 has also been reported but I'm not sure if this is a bad tie up from Mode-S?

Q-30 often (if not always) shows up as Q-18 on Mode-S..
