Well, there are no major airshows the weekend after the one coming (23rd-24th) so maybe thats a start? After that we start to see several major events each weekend through July so it'll be no earlier than August...

Depending on the date, I can bring an F-16 demo and maybe even set up an F-16/P-51 USAF Heritage flight with a buddy. Both were well recieved at the Hawkflyers virtual airshow on Friday.

Hey this sounds interesting, especially as I am a major advocate of RAF/RN aircraft. Maybe, just maybe, I could bring one of my Sea Harrier FRS.1s along, and do a VTOL performance? And if anyone wishes to bring A Vickers VC-10, we could perform a simulated mid-air refuel? And after that, I could possibly do a C-17 performance, showcasing the STOL capabilities - and if anyone else wants to fly the C-17, we could do a formation together! Cheesy

OK, I got my C-17 ready. However, it won't be an RAF one, so, instead I will use an RAAF livery.

I also have the Sea Harrier FRS.1 ready, so could you please tell me where this will be held so I can practice? Thanks! Cheesy

One issue with using the Sea Harrier, you may find hovering doesn't appear correctly in MP, I tried it and was hovering fine. but all the other people could see was the aircraft constantly falling out of the sky.

Sounds great Vulcan1. Wink

Be warned though - whenever I fly formation, I tend to...uh...well put it this way - I come in echelon right for refuel. I refuel. Then, instead of passing off echelon left, I uh...make a pass over the tail, and...fly in front of the plane...inverted...don't say I didn't warn you! Cheesy

Anyone mind giving me the location so I can practice there?

There will never be a date that everyone is comfortable with, but this airshow is being organised by someone in the UK and will largely consist of UK members attending. There are major UK airshows on this weekend, then one for every weekend for three weeks following the 23/24.
