Hey all... just wondered if anyone would be interested in flying an airshow in the lake district rather than in an airport? Anyone who has been there probably knows what its like to have a tornado roar down the valley right next to you!  It will probably be in two or three weeks time and on a saturday evening but i need to check the uk airshow dates to make sure it doesnt clash with any real airshows.

The aircraft id like to see are:

Some historic jets (eg, hunter, vampire etc. Id like to keep these UK orientated)
Some UK/EU modern military jets (eg, typhoon, tornado, hawk etc.)
American fighters (eg, f18, f22 etc.)
Something big (eg, c130, c17 etc.)
WW2 (eg, spitfire hurricane, corsair, fw190... simulated dogfight?)
One or two teams (bbmf, hmjg)

A chopper could be good too... but i would definatly like to keep this to military aircraft. Of course you dont have to fly anything from the list... its up to you what you fly. You can fly as many displays as you wish (im flying at least two - sea vixen and avro arrow).

Im not sure which lake it will be over yet but it will probably be Wast water, there is nice high sides and the lake is fairly small. 

If there is much interest i will upload several flights which put you into a spectator point at the chosen lake and also one allowing you to start near the lake in a cessna, you can then switch planes to your display one.

Im open to suggestions etc. Post here if you're interested.

It's a nice idea in principle, but if anyone (and someone will) has a different mesh then they'll keep seeing display aircraft going through hills.

I'll be up for it if you can get the mesh sorted.

Hopefully I Can have this team running by then

if  not i could fly the F86 Sabre!

or what about a c-17 display?

exdellent Idea

and the airshow is an excellent idea aswell...how about a special Hilly BBMF display....Ill volunteer for the hawk aswell

.mic

PS...does anyone want to team up for a hawk gnat duo?

I like the idea!

If I can make it, I'll fly my spit in the BBMF, if the HMJG get sorted I'll be in the Vulcan and I'll fly a solo in a Tucano.

http://www.fsimcafe.com/Downloads/ShowDownload.aspx?ProductID=514&Last5Downloads... Thats the mesh im using.

I was going to upload a flight in the default cessna to spawn on an approach over the lake were using (which is wastwater btw). I'll produce a map with the display area and spectator area on and several flights which put you in the correct area with 'the dude'. Does anyone have any idea for a date?

Yep, that sounds good. Ill get some solid info up soon and try to recruit some more pilots.

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.

NOOOOOOOOOOO...if its on the 23/24th...i cant come...cause im going to this...http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1181526136

but only on one day...probably the saturday!

LOL thats ok then Heathaze, they can ROFL at me "falling out of the sky". 

Sounds great Vulcan1. 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! 

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

Thinking of an Su-30 demo, now I've got the flight dynamics sorted on it. Tailslides and everything.

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. [/quote]

it just depends on which day this is...im probably going to the St. Thomas Airshow on the Sunday(24th)

so ill just have to wait and see!
